I'm in a similar position.

I'm currently in a polytechnic high school (I don't have a high school degree). This is the third high school I'm in, because I always struggle with non-programming classes, in which I have absolutely no interest in and in programming classes I'm far ahead in terms of skill.

Everyone around me says I should get a degree, which I can absolutely understand, but I just want to get a job in software development, I just fear that I will later have a hard time without any degree.

I'm programming since I was 13 or 14 and since then I've invested most of my free time into open source projects (this is my Github profile: https://github.com/flagbug)
