* Without knowing your background and what country you're in, it's difficult to give the best possible advice. What might make sense in the USA might not be as logical in Europe or Asia.
* Your English isn't bad and your meaning is totally comprehensible, but it doesn't seem likely that it's your first language based on how you worded some sentences. Depending on what country you're in and how it might affect your job prospects, working on improving your English is worth considering and that might help your career more than a degree.
* Without a degree, you probably won't have as easy a time getting your foot into the door at larger companies who receive tons of job applications. Oftentimes, these large companies use certain filters and characteristics to weed down the interview list. If working at a big company is your goal, you'll have a bit more difficulty. But if you like smaller companies and startups, you're still ok.
* If you can demonstrate, whether through personal projects, past jobs, open source projects, etc, that you are competent you shouldn't have a problem finding a job in a startup or smaller business.
* If, after 5 years, you're not close to graduating, it might make sense to reevaluate and consider whether it's worth the continued stress and aggravation and cost if you're flourishing in your career without it.
* Ultimately, you alone have to make the best choice for you. Your parents and friends can give their opinion, but it's your life.
