If you code all of the time and it's something you enjoy I'm not sure a CS degree is right for you. I was CS and I switched to music because assembly and calculus didn't seem relevant to anything I wanted to build. If you work hard and build projects and put a little effort into learning the CS concepts on your own you will have no problem finding a job. You better be able to code though if you're not going to have that CS line item on your resume. I'm saying you need 5 years experience building things to be qualified most places.
