I don't have a college degree so I don't know how it would be if I had one (other than more points of visa applications I guess).
The main benefit of being self taught is, in my case, having imposter syndrome towards those with higher education which as a side effect clips my ego which is a benefit after all :-D
Seriously speaking: I don't really know. The fact that the degree is not required by law to exercise the profession means that I have seen genius software developers with philosophy degrees and "meh" software developers with CS degrees. I have seen "meh" software developers that were hastily self taught and great developers with CS degrees. That doesn't meant that "meh" can't become good or great, it just takes time and... self learning or going back to school to get that piece of paper :-P
