Not gonna lie, it's really difficult to get a job without a degree. When I was in Uni, the guy who sat next to me in programming knew 10 times what I did, but he was in the same course because he couldn't get a job without a piece of paper. That said, coding jobs are positions that are ALWAYS available now, and quite lucrative. With a nice resume, you've got the odds on your side for a at least a junior position somewhere.

Chaos is right. I have a college degree, but not Uni. It's hard to find a job that's worth what you've learned. I worked as a game dev trainer for a while, but the salary wasn't great, same with the coding job I worked for making web designs and still, not that good.

Well, I don't have as much as experience as the guys above me here, but I know that in the video game industry in particular they always ask for either a degree OR equivalent experience- So it's still a possibility! Especially since the programming you're doing is for video games, I think it's an industry you could consider!

If you're really sure about doing coding, one thing you could do is crack down on Ruby, but moreso Java, Objective-C, and C++/C# (and maybe jQuery, Python, or Visual Studio, things like that- and make sure you know Shell like the back of your hand) and start doing commission scripting for developers while applying for jobs. Maybe break open Unity or UDK or CryEngine and write some more technically sided programs for it. Add literally every project you're a part of to your resume and start applying like crazy. The more projects you help out on/create yourself, the better chance you have, since that's what they mean by equivalent experience. Look into Unity Programmer jobs/UDK/Java for Mobile Games Programmer etc. and see what exactly they want you to have proficiency in- You might be surprised at what you qualify for!

Either way, I hope things get better. I believe in youuuuu!

(For more programming stuff, some other things you could look into are: SSIS, HTML5, AJAX, JSON, WCF, CSS, XML, ADO.NET, LINQ, TeamCity, XCode, see if any of them pique your interest!)

(Sourced from being in a similar situation and thinking about doing this myself and looking into it a LOT, and from multiple college professors with industry experience who told me essentially the same thing )

EDIT:

Oh, while I'm here, take a look at this too: http://blog.agupieware.com/2014/05/online-learning-bachelors-level.html

There's plenty of other free resources online too~ Learning Computer Science = Mega Important.

Come to fairyland and be my pet forever? :3

But seriously, if you like coding stuff become a programmer for sure! But a job is a job you know. and no matter what you do you can still be stuck in a place you don't wanna be. It would be best of course to work for yourself, and more and more people can do that nowadays, but it's still a lot of work.

But don't give up! That's the worst thing you could do!

You can definitely get a programming job without a degree! Having a degree doesn't really make it that easy because everyone wants senior developers anyway. However, employers know that good developers are hard to find. If you show that you are good then someone will want to hire you, you just need to help them figure it out
You could build something cool, make your code all nice and beautiful, then put it on github. People will be able to see how you code and that you're passionate (which seems to be the major buzzword for dev recruitment at the moment).
If you google software developer interviews and you can find out what employers are likely to ask you about. Some companies have interview questions on Glassdoor.
And four years of engineering school is nothing to sniff at, I'm sure you can spin that to your advantage.

@Soulpour Honestly , I don't mind the salary too much . If I can sustain myself ,it's fine if the job is interesting.

@Nyapurgisnacht I 'm not looking for something in the game industry specifically even if i will try to learn more about development through game development (trying to make a game seems more relatable than trying to make a random software)

@KilloZapit  How do I go to fairyland ?

@randomstranger I checked interviews quickly,it looks like I'm not really "employable" right now but leraning/making stuff is better than doing nothing so I will work on that. It's more like three years ,I wasn't doing/learning anything in my fourth year plus it's a bit more complicated due to the way it works in France.

Anyway thanks for your answers everyone,it 's motivating me a bit. 

Job trouble? I know that feeling, I'm experiencing the same.

I'm unsure about these things just like you.

I hope you'll achieve a success and I wish you the best! Don't give up! =3
