OK so I've got question for those who actually work here:
Currently I'm working in a somewhat (as far as I know) undefined field, I write scripts and programs for automating software and firmware deployment on hardware along with automated burn-in tests and quality control, pretty much my job is to eliminate any human errors in production.
Along with that I deal with failure analysis (reproduction, troubleshooting, debugging) of hardware-firmware-software issues that our clients encounter and write all sorts of tools for that.
I write all of that usually in either bash or python working 90% of the time in a Linux environment.
Also on the side I deal with hardware integration, some IT work and infrastructure maintenance and deployment for the company (less so the clients)
Now the question is, considering I have no formal education other than high-school, how hard would it be to find a job in about the same line of work and how much would my CV benefit from taking single courses compared to dropping work and studying towards and actual 4 year degree?
I'd love to hear some personal experience on this matter if you guys have any.

Well so far I enjoy my work, problem is in the not so long term the company may become a terrible place, so I'm considering my options

Use your skills to have a side project to earn money on. If you like your job that is the best way to do it. Since you know Python you should probably learn some django, if you don't mind web development there is a lot of money in that.
If you can get into MIT or something then a degree is a good thing. Otherwise I fear that you won't see the real benefit unless you study something adjecent like statistics and start doing data science or machine learning or something.

I have no college degree. Work in cybersec. Just had a huge interest in the field. Have a lot of experience built up from IT work, and personal working. If your experience is good enough you are well good enough to get any job out there. Automation is a great market right now, at least in my country.
Have a github with stuff you've written or have some projects you're working on visible online.
You'll be fine.
