The real question is "How hard is it to find a job without qualification?".

BUK's reply is on point, since a core qualification is communication.

If you are not able to show your skills and formulate an efficient question (programming is about language!), you should rather look for the supermarket-monks.

Degrees are not necessary in this business, if you are qualified and/or experienced.

update

Short answer: very easy compared to most other professions.
