Seconded. If you aren't willing to go through school, why would you be willing to take up a job? Most entry-level jobs will generally be even more boring, require more discipline and jumping through the kind of hoops that you will not enjoy. Unless someone sees a sort of a raw genius in you, they will probably not take a gamble on you.

One reason I assume is that a degree is taking tens of thousands of dollars from you whereas the entry level job will be giving that to you.

Because university and work are completely different environments.

University is very academic, work is very practical.
