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 ...
