It’s amazing how few people understand this.
It should also show you have a broader knowledge base, but that depends on how much you applied yourself.
Really depends on the situation and relationship.
Sounds like she probably has a lot of student loan debt and is looking for a sugar daddy who wasn’t stupid enough to get conned by the higher education racket.
In seriousness, with rare exception, degrees are pretty meaningless.
And I say this as a MIT engineer and Harvard lawyer.

But seriously, you should be happy. Do you know how difficult it is to find and date a smart person?
You are so money and you don’t even know it

Bro,she’s not with you cause she expects you to solve triple calculus problems
Working on yourself is great.Read books,research about stuff that interest you,travel when possible,maybe even join an open university if you really want to
But when it comes to your daily interaction with her say ‘‘fuck it,I’m enough as I am’’ and stop ratting yourself below her.‘‘You’re not enough for her’’.That’s HER job to say,not your’s.Be confident,dominant and best of luck
It’s probably not an issue but could be an indicator of future issues. What could cause problems in the future is if the two of you have significantly different outlooks on life general and education in particular. Few people I know, look down on anyone who doesn’t have a degree. However, if they feel education is very important for them and their family, they might be reluctant to raise children with someone who doesn’t feel the same.
It’s like anything else in a relationship; it’s just easier if you have similar outlooks on education, family, money etc. Differences that are charming in a new relationship may make you want to smother someone in ten years.
I wouldn’t say it won’t work. It’s just something to think about and examine carefully in addition to other life views. FWIW, I have a degree and my husband has a blue collar background. He calls me management and I call him union but things have worked out well for us for years.
I’m educated and I dated a PhD. He was very nice, and putting me to sleep. No chemistry – but everyone and their mother swore we belonged together. He never really followed his passion, didn’t go after what he wanted, and that gnawed at me bc it wasn’t what I value.
Don’t worry, pursue what you want in life and you will find a traveling companion.
There’s a line in there where it says you feel she deserves better. That’s really sweet. If you are really coming at it from that place maybe it’s not insecurity, maybe you just really care about her. That you are willing to do what many won’t, throw yourself in harms way for other, is fairly compelling. Good luck.
There are many great post on here letting you know it doesn’t matter that you don’t have a college degree. They are all absolutely right! It’s the same as those who are in the military, police officers, etc. all honorable jobs that take a huge commitment not everyone can make. You put your life at risk to help someone in unpredictable situations… to me a huge heart is much more desirable than a degree 
Firefighters, police, paramedics, military are your true action heroes, a pharmacist who is in a box 8 hours a day, must dream about being in a shootout, or saving someone’s life , getting some poor kid with good grades in college.
