The qualifications have nothing to do with piloting ability. Noone is claiming they do.
But until you get a decent amount of hours, your education will help with any job you go for.
You can talk around education once at an interview... the problem is getting past the people choosing who to invite to interview in the first place.
And please, dont encourage wannabes (who may be reading the wannabe forum!) to drop out of school like you did.
