Software engineer without a degree

[GrayBe]

I've been pondering over whether I can make it as a software engineer without a degree. I mean, I've got the passion and knack for coding, but without that piece of paper, will anyone take me seriously? It's like this constant battle between my skills and society's expectations. I'm torn between pursuing my passion and playing it safe with a traditional education. What do you think?

Maybe trying out another job first would be good, get the confidence in the workplace first before putting yourself out there while also gathering experience.
