I got lucky being self taught. My technical training in the military in electronics set me up, electronics gates translate well into binary thinking. After my time in the Navy I tried going into college with family and full-time work it was extremely difficult. On top of that as you mentioned I was learning faster with books on my own, so college was no go for me. Working in Industrial automation software it really open my eyes in the software engineering world. It does take more effort being self taught but at the same time you can do whatever you want and there's a ton of information online.
