Having a degree does make it easier to break into careers. Most employers prefer people with at least some experience in their field for most job openings. In other words, they don't usually like to train new people too much. Even folks with 2-3 years of experience have some trouble getting work. Of course it depends on the field. But regardless, the best way to get through that is to make friends. College provides a great opportunity since there's no pressure. You can still do it through coworkers too, of course.
Also, $15/hour comes to about $31,000/yr. The current purchasing power parity per capita in the US is about $42,000/yr. You're young, though, so there's growth potential. Good luck.
