Can I work as a software developer without a degree?

I'm 27 years old from Europe, I love technology especially Linux and Im programming since I was 16. I never had a chance to go to college but I've worked in the past as a local freelancer and technical. I have master some tools and systems like Linux, web servers, Docker, Angular, Nodejs, JavaScript, Mongodb, MySQL but I dont have enough experience and a CS degree. Is there any chance to succeed if I lunch 3-4 big projects and keep dreaming till one day a company out of nowhere hire me or should I just give up and switch to something more "handy" and be another underpaid worker?
