There are definitely jobs out there for you if you have the portfolio. But I hardly think college is a waste of time.

Never meant that college was a waste of time, i was just stating that it would be a waste of time for me to go through it then get a job i would have gotten 5 years ago and i could have become a senior web developer by then! And thanks, but as i mentioned in the title are decent jobs a possibility for me? Because age i assume would always be a problem for me if i want to pursue higher paying jobs.

It depends on the company, but I doubt you could get a senior level position. But you could probably get a well paying mid-level position at the right company.

Thanks and sorry for bothering you with all these questions since there is no where else i could actually ask theme. And if i may ask what would be the salary range for someone with my portfolio?

No problem. It depends on where you are looking for a job. NYC and San Fran will be higher for instance. I don't know much about the foreign markets. But I would say starting salary around $60k-$75k. You might be able to get more, but I doubt it. All this is assuming your portfolio is well stocked.
