One of the mistakes made by some who hope to make money on eBay is to sell products that are of inferior quality.

This is especially true if you're looking to start your own SEO company where you absolutely must be a self-starter to succeed. But, it's also true if you're looking to get hired in somewhere as well. I would want an employee of mine to take an SEO assignment and be able to carry it out with little or no input from me. After all, if I wanted to do it myself I wouldn't have hired you!
Don't Let Lack of a Degree Hold You Back
One of the great things about the web design and development industry is that results and work product count more than education. While having an associates or bachelors degree certainly can't hurt, your ability to educate yourself to understand and perform search engine optimization work is much more important for your SEO career than a degree.
The truth is that I'm self-educated in SEO and I would be more willing to hire someone who is self-educated over someone with a college degree all things being equal. After all, much of this job is self-motivated self-education and developing the necessary SEO skills without attending a university where you're spoon fed the information says a lot about your potential for success in this field.
