It can, if you are doing the exact same thing you did, but in my experience a company will hire someone right out of college over someone with several years experience and no degree.

Here is why:

Administrator hires OP

OP struggles in his job.

Boss says "What is going on? Why is OP struggling?"

Administrator says "I don't know, he has experience."

Boss says "Where did he graduate from school?"

Administrator says "Well, he didn't."

Boss says "You hired someone without a degree? What were you thinking?!?"

Administrator is demoted.
