You're looking at a harder life. But that doesn't necessarily mean a bad one.

The path forces you to take responsibility earlier. You have to take the initiative in your life. You have to educate yourself. And your pretty much destined for entrepreneurship. But some in fields people will be more willing to hire you.

You have to prove yourself through informal means. Without those pieces of paper you limit your options. But that fine if you know what you want to do.

You're a pathbreaker and you'll have the same challenges that any pathbreaker would.

I have diploma (barely got it) but not college. I'm doing fine.

I could write an essay. In fact I will. But the situation you're in and the decision you will make certainly isn't all downside with no up. There are pros and cons to each side.
