Is it worth to return to school if I'm 27 yo? I already

Second option is better and 100% possible

For web development, I'd consider a bootcamp program over returning to college.

They're mostly a rip off, but less of a rip off than most colleges.

There are few places that offer training for web development, programing, but they can be more expensive than schools in my country. I finished course for system administrator in one of them few years ago and it was awful, some guy literally read us from book every class, I had troubles staying awake.

It would be a lot easier for me to learn at home because of my job I probably couldn't go to classes.. My only concern is if I can get a job as self-taught.

My boyfriend landed a job as an analyst teaching himself coding. The trick is to actually learn it, not half-ass it.

I'm trying, I have bunch of tutorials and books, hope that's enough.

You can study on your own and then get certs and that looks even better than a degree sometimes.

Should I try to get them online or in some place in my country that have them? There is one by W3Schools, it costs around 100$, don't know if its worth it.

I heard about some google certificates that are supposed to be good.

Op, I returned to school when I was 27 to get a master degree in programming, am currently 31 and have one year to go to finish it. It helped me massively finding paid internships and freelance work on the side.

The general idea you need to ask yourself is this : do you want to be an actual computer engineer, or is being a self-taught web programmer good enough for you ?

First option is impossible unless you actually go through the steps, suck it up and go to college. It's what I wanted, so it's what I did.

Second option however, don't go to college for that, there are plenty of much simpler, shorter and cheaper alternative. For this alternative, it's entirely possible to be self taught, and what you should work on instead of going to college is a portfolio of websites that showcase your abilities (if you don't have said abilities yet, find ways to acquire them, teaching yourself basic level programming from web resources is extremely simple). Once you'll have that, you can leverage it into an application to the kind of startup that looks for the kind of profile you have.

Those kind of certificates only validates knowledge of a tool, only pass them if you have a very specific technology / service in mind.
