I'm sure it has actually, by having that honours degree you have opened up a 
whole new set of jobs that without the degree would have been impossible to 
get.

I only say about the A-levels, because if someone applies here with a degree 
from a university that we are not faimiliar with, we'll likely look to see 
what A-level grades they got (well actually we'll look anyway, but it's less 
important).  While I'm sure you are capable of getting an A at maths, if 
it's not on paper then how are we going to know?  Also it's a bit unusual in 
this day and age to have a degree but no A levels.  Expect to be asked about 
that.

While it might not help you actually get the job, it will definitely help 
you get interviews.
