you don't have that bachelors degree, you're obviously incapable of doing
the work being asked of you. Whenever they ask you to do something that
wasn't part of the original position description say, "Oooh, I'd love to but
you know, I'm missing that bachelor's degree." When they point out that
you've been doing it for the last several years now say, "Yeah, but that's
when I thought I was going to be compensated for my knowledge not my
degree."
Don't quit. Make them fire you over it. And get a good reference from your
boss anyway.
