It depends on the country you are in I guess...

It's a question of offer and demand, here in France there is a lot of need for developer so, in some type of company (not all), as long as you know how to work you can be hired.
I, for example, just did a nine months training (six at school and a three month internship) two years ago and I've found a job one week after it.

During my internship, one of the better dev I've met didn't even had finished the equivalent of US high school.

But it's not always true in big company, especially for IT consulting, here in France anyway.
