Higher education for WEB-programmer?

Question

IT education

Good afternoon! At the moment I am actively studying in WEB-development (HTML, CSS, JS and its frameworks). I practice, I learn, in general everything is like everyone else.
Now the issue of higher education has become acute. I saw similar questions, but there the situations were a little different and people wanted to know exactly about the higher direction in the WEB. As for me, I'm not really eager to "code" sites 24/7 for, let's say, not very big money, but I have identified several projects for myself that I would like to develop and support. Of course, these are not world-class startups, but this is not about that now. I do not want to change the IT direction, most likely later I will study the Back-end and everything connected with it.
Now actually to a question. Of course, there is an option to get a degree in programming, so to speak, but firstly (IMHO) I have these sites and programming at home for my eyes, and you can learn everything using the Internet, books, courses, in general, everything together gives a good level and now spend time on a tower, when it can be done from home, gradually learning on your own and also you don’t need to take anything to anyone, etc. seems to me the best option. Secondly, I am for versatile training/development (whatever you want) and here again about fixing on one thing. This is so to say the background (water), but the essence is this: "Is it more profitable to get a tower in the specialty in the WEB or choose another direction (not IT), but at the same time do not forget about the WEB and constantly learn?"
Maybe I somehow clumsily built the question, but in general I showed the essence, correct if something :)

Answer 1

It only matters how good a specialist you are. Can become them without a tower, become. You can justify your coolness without a diploma, justify it.

Answer 2

This is so to say background (water),

this should have been written first, it would have saved the readers a lot of time.
Formally, you will need a tower only when applying to bureaucratic offices in Russia or to make it easier to obtain a work visa abroad.
Not formally - If you really spend your time studying algorithms, data structures, and other things called Computer Science - then there will be no difference. So far, most of the self-taught people I've met don't find the time or inclination for this. It's not a couple of months of time to waste.
but not everyone needs it, for example, to do the usual UI, or a layer between the database and HTTP (90% of all the work of a "WEB programmer") - nothing from CS is useful at all. learn the language, tools, frameworks, all sorts of APIs and go.

Answer 3

I left the university in the 2nd year, according to the results, you can see the summary in the profile and draw conclusions)

Answer 4

A good portfolio in a similar field is equivalent to a diploma in this field
