I am currently 19 years old and in my second job in the industry, I was completely self taught and didn't even finish what you would consider high school (since in the UK we leave when we are 16.) Your degree is a piece of paper which tells your employer you are capable of learning and remembering large quantities of data and theory, your practical experience on the other hand, is what tells your employer you are genuinely capable of doing the job. Get yourself an internship or go work for a small company for 6 months or a year, you will learn soon enough that your degree is mostly irrelevant and that university is more-so for building character and connections than actual practical experience.
