I'm in the UK. 24 years old. Programmer. Did A-levels but not Uni.
It's never been very hard to find jobs, and my pay is above average for the UK (it's £60k).
Programming is pretty easy to teach yourself and it's a super employable field right now. Programmers are in so high a demand no one seems to mind if you don't have any qualifications.
Would things have been better if I'd gone to university instead? Who knows? But it's super possible to be a programmer without going.
