Self taught from ages 9-18, Qbasic -> C -> C++ -> PHP
I did go to college and learned Java and UML and a few other esoteric things - until I got into my data structures classes. If a self-taught software engineer feels like something is missing, take a few data structures classes. That helps a lot.
But yeah, self taught can take you pretty much anywhere unless the job reqs prevent it.
