... does that work? Because I'm halfway through a degree here, and honestly, if that works...
If the job requires it, they'll probably check. If the job doesn't require it but the hiring manager has a bias towards college graduates (hint: they all do) then it works.
Probably depends on the field.
I'm a software developer and only my first job ever cared for my degree. My current employer actually never saw my degree/diploma or anything. I just said I had it.
Now, if you'd work at a bank/in finance or have a degree in a more regulated industry, they'll probably check.
