Ask HN: Can a 19 years old get a dcent job in web development

This question have been bugging me for a while now. So i'm 19 years old and i've been learning web development since i was 13 and started freelancing 4 years ago. I code in: HTML and haml CSS, SCSS, SASS, LESS javascript and all its major libraries i'm quite decent with Ruby and python

Also: I've coded about 100-120 website since i started learning I pride myself in writing beautiful understandable code

I know that none of these are special traits, but i'm thinking of quitting school since my final objective is to work as web-dev so if i can score a good gig with my current knowledge there is no use wasting 5 years of my life. And it's not like i lack experience, 4 years of freelancing should count for something.

I appreciate any input you have on this subject and any advice you have to offer! And thanks for taking the time to read my question
