Without that degree life is more difficult.  Venture capitalists are less inclined to invest in a business started by a non-college graduate and forget about getting a good job.  Now, there are exceptions and some small number of people do make it without a degree but they are a small minority.  Most high school graduates are stuck in the lower middle class forever.  At least get yourself certified for something - having no advanced training or degree puts you at a disadvantage from the get go.
