let me also add though that having a degree may open up other avenues
unrelated to short-term work related ones including:
* higher salary [over decades this can amount to a big difference]
* opportunities to emigrate to other countries, most countries prefer
immigrants with degrees over one's without
* opportunities at universities, institutions, research fascilities and
government positions that would be impossible without a degree
* opportunities to later study another field at master's level [in
computer science or in something totally different]
* sense of accomplishment, which sets a good pattern for completing
other projects/goals in life instead of leaving ends untied

if you can freelance and/or if you are talented and you also have a good
portfolio... then in the USA, UK and NL you can find work without a
degree in flash/flex/AS just fine. But try that in France and you won't
ever get past the resume pile.

Do you have a degree related to computer science? if not, how
difficult is it getting jobs programming AS3 without one?
I need a a stable job ASAP; yet, I have two more years to go before I
complete my degree in computer science; thus, I am wondering how
difficult it would be to find a programming related job without a
degree? Do all I need is a portfolio, or does the piece of paper
really make the difference at an entry level?
I also have a background in fine art if that helps.
Thanks,
