I'm 24 & had to make a similar decision to you. I had a full-time job offer in a startup when I was 19, 2 years through my CS degree. I decided to stop university & work. I rarely think about going back, my work experience & portfolio of actually building products has entirely outweighed the "piece of paper". I'm in a SF startup now, on a very good salary for my age & I have years of experience now. It has never been a deciding-factor in landing jobs. That said, if you want to work at the big corporates (Google, Apple etc etc), I would imagine this is where you would need it. Also, if you are not from the US, having a degree is pretty much essential to getting a work visa. Devs are in such demand, particularly in SF/The Valley, that I truly believe a degree would always be overlooked for actual experience. As other posters mentioned, there are CS degrees on Coursera etc now that you could still continue to study for free in your spare time.
