My long term plan

Hi all, Been a lurker on this thread for a long time, I've had some great jobs and shitty jobs mostly in IT for various reasons. I've arrived at the conclusion that if I was to continue the way I was I'd just be bouncing around at the bottom level for the rest of my life. I've decided to change that, currently I'm retaking Math from school and had the idea of attending university for computer science as I work in IT anyway. However I've seen more than a few people on this thread comment that they taught themselves coding and still landed good jobs, would you recommend the self taught route or going to Uni? Baring in mind I'd much rather not fork out 15-20k plus for a degree that may not even be useful compared to self taught resources/certifications…
