This sounds dumb to someone dropping out of school, but if you don't finish undergrad, you can't go to grad school.

Can you get a tech job without a degree? Yes

Can you advance without it? Yes

Will there be non-tech folks that skated through easy majors that look at you askance without it? Yes

But something to consider.... Undergrads are cattle in Most schools. They pay the bolls that keep schools going, but aren't what the professors care about. In grad school I learned and enjoyed the coursework 10x over undergrad. But you need that undergrad paper first. If you can't afford undergrad, do it at a public school.

I think I might want to do a grad degree at some point, but I think that is mostly coming from the part of me that wants to impress everybody else.

It's a lot of time and money to impress people. Buy Italian sports car instead. Grad school should be about intellectual curiosity first, connections second, and brand third. Unless you get an MBA, in which case the order is reversed.
