A degree isn't mandatory but you will have less options without one. You may want to work on your spelling and grammar. I met a chief pilot at a flying school who's spelling was atrocious. I couldn't take him seriously and changed schools.

Unfortunately, judging from about 50% of the posts on this website it is not mandatory to know how to either spell or proofread. And grammar? I'd say upwards of 70% of the pilots posting aren't able to craft a 6th grade level paragraph.
That being said, please go to college. Major in something useful. Don't look for the easy way out.

For airlines...
Mandatory? In theory, no.
But for all practical purposes, yes, unless you have close family connections in the flight operations department of a major airline.
For non-airline flying...
Not mandatory, but certainly helpful (especially when the economy tanks and you can't get a flying job).

That's okay. Chief Pilot at a flying school is much like head pickle bottle washer in an aspirin plant. Catchy title, doesn't pass the smell test, and comes with a built-in headache. Never short on zing, though.
