If they think you can get the job done then i don’t think a degree really matters for that position.
i got my first ‘proper’ full time job before i graduated (2 semesters left). It was based on my previous experience (internships). i had to move to a different state but did finish my degree by taking the remaining courses at the local uni.
As a side note, in the Middle East, employers can also specify the race, color, creed, and gender of the successful candidate which I find very distasteful.
