It depends on who you are with.
If you are in an office that has mostly people with college degrees then a lack of one counts as negative since it is expected. If you are in a blue collar job where no degree is required then having one could be a plus among your peers (or maybe they would be jealous and unhappy that you have one). Finally if you are in a place where advanced degrees are common then it comes down to which degree and how classy a school you got it from.
Most people get one for the job-related knowledge or the self-satisfaction. Any prestige is not the real motivator.

That will forever depend on who your audience is.
While the degree is considered evidence that one has either knowledge in the subject or (at least) the ability to manage time and tasks, many folks believe school cannot provide what comes from the heart of a person who loves their field of choice. A lot of people are self-taught and do well to keep following their dreams by designing their own (non-scholastic) path.
Heck, I do it both ways, yet personal circumstance and the job market make it difficult to find the right employment.

If you are so rich, it doesn't matter.
