As of 2005, it was 27.7%.
Back on topic, a college degree does much more than pad your resume. Everything that comes along with college is there to help you in your professional life. The networking, the experience, not to mention the education.
Some people make a good point; Having a college degree doesn't necesarrily make you more marketable or guarantee you a job, but study after study has shown that college graduates are much more likely to have a successful professional career.
So congrats on being successful without a degree! Just know you're in the minority.
