One thing to consider is if you ever want to live abroad. At 19, I found myself in a somewhat similar position to yourself. I was employed as a software engineer at a fairly large agency. Soon after I found myself holding a senior engineer position at another well-respected company. This was before I had any degree, and by and large, my career trajectory would probably be fairly successful either way. One thing I had not considered though was living and working abroad. Foreign countries often care about whether or not you have a degree when deciding whether to grant you a residence permit or work visa. This might sound stupid, but it is definitely the case. Even stupider is that it generally doesn't matter what your degree is in, but rather just the level of education. Living in Sweden and working as a software engineer at a great place now, I sure am glad that I finished my BA in Political Science.
