You are right, having a degree will not increase your odds of finding a job in the US, but only for those jobs which entail removing dirt from cars using soap and water, or asking "would you like fries with that?" to your customers.
Getting a job in a "profession" will almost always (more than 90% of the time) require that one possess a degree.
