From your perspective having a degree will give you:
You learn how to learn there
You learn the basis to understand some of the hard things to start learning (i.e physics, mathematics etc.) which you might need to use later.
From business perspective, your skills is what makes you usefull right now. But company would like to predict if you will be usefull in the future. And a formal education gives them "insurance" that you are able to learn new things in a timely manner.
What I'm saying is, formal education is insurance for you and a company hiring you, and it opens new opportunities for you (like in these companies that require an education). It's up to you to decide if it's worth the effort.
