I agree you don't need a degree. You really don't.
However, at a decent University(and this is the caveat) it makes all the difference, because it's HARD. Really really hard to finish those courses. Not only that, but to finish and retain what you've learnt is even harder.
Forget about the piece of paper - who cares. The amount knowledge you will gain at a high level and under considerable pressure in a short timespace is what you gain, and really, what you should be looking for.
You're young. Get yourself to a good University, this alone is very difficult, and do that degree. Go through the nightmare and enjoy every minute of it while you still are young. It'll be the best thing youve ever done.
