I actually had to think about this question for awhile. At first glance, I could almost say 'yes, I've felt embarassed by my lack of a degree." However, I refuse to be allow myself to be defined by my having a degree, or lack thereof. 'Embarassed' probably is the wrong word for me. Do I feel that my lack of a degree has kept me from wonderful opportunities, career-wise? Absolutely...who hasn't? Having a degree, in my opinion, has absolutely no bearing on how well somebody can do a specific job or not. Yeah, they may have the 'qualifications' & such...but, all that degree does for you is get you in the game. From there, it's all your character & integrity, etc....degree or no degree. Anyway...just my 2 cents worth.
