From my experience having a diploma is a huge boost in job hunting, at least until you have more experience.

Any company will have no problem in hiring you if you do not have a diploma but have credential from your work you have done previously or you are well know in your area of expertise.

But the longer you are out of high school the harder it is going back to finish it and get a diploma. Sometimes life happens .

Education is NOT a piece of paper for job hunting. It is development of intellect. Most coders without education have none.
