Is it possible to get a graphic design job without having a Graphics Design degree? Been thinking about it what its like working as a graphic designer. I majored in IT and work as a programmer. I don't mind my job, but I fantasize about what could have been sometimes.

Degrees are useless. Portfolios are invaluable.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, cares about your art degree. You will NEVER be asked to show your degree.

Do you have a good portfolio? If so then yes. If not then no.

For freelance this is true. But for full-time positions sometimes they need them, especially if it is a teaching position or requires you moving and getting a visa. Source: I once didn't get a position in another country because I couldn't get the work visa without a degree, and I didn't have enough years experience at that point to act in lieu of one.

I don't have a portfolio and don't really know how to build one.

actually the more a graphic designer does the better, especially web & multimedia, but that doesn't mean that you'll get paid more, only be more exploited

Well that's an issue with the government, not the employer, and is a different question entirely.

Me either but I did it anyway and picked up a couple of GD clients. I don't really want to be a Graphic Designer though, but I'll take the work when it comes.

It's still relevant though

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
