What's your advice for an entry level coder?

Hello all, this is my first post here on Imzy. It also happens that I am trying to land my first job as a software engineer.

I've coded since I was about 11 in various languages using various frameworks, but I've mainly settled on C# as being my favorite.

Programming and computer science is truly my personal passion. I've coded server emulation projects from the ground up in C#, done malware analysis for fun, and my current personal project is an automation system for Android using Java/C++ for interfacing with the device and C# for providing a scripting interface.

I took two years of college in computer science but had to take a break for financial reasons. I do plan to go back, but I am hoping to find a job that will allow me to better pay for college on my own terms. I work at <large_grocery_chain> as a stocker right now.

So my question is this: as I am applying and if I begin to get interviews, what advice would you give me for how I present myself, or maybe things I should look into or do? Particularly about when conpanies ask me about college or perhaps things I can say to convince them I am worth their time without a degree to prove it.

As a side question, do you think I have a good chance of actually landing a job without a degree? I know this probably varies wildly by location (I live in Memphis, Tennessee).

I am also going through a recruiting company who are, in parallel, trying to find me a position. I took their exams for C++, C, Java, C#, and SQL, and scored in the 90th percentile for each. They seemed very impressed, and they assured me they can find me a job given enough time, but I also know it's their job to make me think that.

Thanks, everyone!
