The situation you present is very difficult. I think that your chances of getting a position are remote. Investment firms will evaluate you as you should evaluate investments. If you were evaluating an investment that had a poor track record and its executives expressed no desire to demonstrate a willingness to improve their skills (i.e. you not wanting to get a college degree or CFA), you would likely not invest.
Succinctly, you need to demonstrate a lot more drive, intelligence, and skill before someone is likely to hire you. This is especially true because the competition for investment management positions is extremely competitive.
