These days? Many developers have been self-taught throughout history. And in the case of web development there's no standardized education. This has led to significant confusion and difficulty in maintaining good practices in any job much less when we move from job to job

That's how it's done you should be very proud. I have pursued higher education and I love it but it does not measure real world application skills that can be learned on your own. It does expand critical analysis skills and depth of knowledge in various areas of study.
