Should I get a degree in computer science

Am a 23 year old self taught web developer and A.I enthusiast, with a diploma in marine engineering, and have tried sadly to no avail to get a software engineering job, as most companies in my country require a bsc in computer science or in other related courses for position as a software developer, and due to this barrier, I recently started my own startup; a Saas app that generates German style question from pdf files. But I have of late had this fear that I am wasting my time and should instead go back to school to get a bsc in computer science. And I would like hacker newsers advice on this dilemma I find myself in.
