The CS industry is rather cyclical - during the early phase of some 'hot new thing'
(OOP, Internet, currently AI/Machine Learning) folks will employee anyone that can help.
After some period of time, folks will want proof you can help: degrees, diplomas,
certifications, etc.
Currently you can use the free/almost-free resources on the Internet to replicate
most of a 4-yr (Bachelor) CS degree ... when/what part of the cycle are you in?
Do you have the time and/or money to sit yerself down for 4 years?
Your choice ...
