That's what I did. I started off learning LAMP back in high school and found a good job so I didn't bother with college after the first year.
What I got most out of it was math. The CS courses are largely trivial if you're a decent developer who keeps up with learning. However, I would have never learned calc, linear algebra, coding theory, or encryption on my own. So, if I were to go back and talk to pre-college me, I'd tell him to skip CS and just do straight math/physics.
