Do you need a college degree to be a screen play writer?

What you need, besides imagination and skill at shaping a story and writing dialogue is the correct format, for which there is a variety of software. A screenwriting course is a good idea.

It's always good to have a college degree. It will give you something to fall back on, and it will always help you to get further. However, I also believe you can do anything that you put your mind to it regardless of your education and upbringing. Good luck!

no, if your heart is in it.

No but it helps a little.
