It is possible; however, it is a LOT easier with a CS degree (it is easier with a non-tech degree than without a degree at all :). Chances are a degree will also help later, when getting better jobs. You will see many comments of people who've made it without a degree; they exist, but statistically it is much easier with one :) If you can, get into a public university (at least if you're in the US or Mexico, where I have experience). It is usually affordable, and they provide a good education. It is usually easy to get a job in the field while in college.
