Advice Me Please - I am so confused about my IT Career

Jul 28th, 2008
i am 20th year old, working as a freelance web developer, i am from pakistan, i had done my secondary education 3 years ago, then i wasted rest years due to cysts under my both armpit, and did not complete my college, i did 1 year diploma from APTECH COMPUTER EDUCATION in Information System Management with VB, JAVA, SQL SERVER and little Web designing. i did this diploma 2 year ago, then i took some break, then i started learning web development with xhtml/css and php/mysql now AJAX myself, no teacher taught me these technologies, i did them myself, but not yet expert but i am sure that i am good at these languages.

Now i am learning them deeply also working on some freelance web projects, and i am offering web designing and development services, and my all clients are happy with me because i made them happy with my efforts, even some of them are not happy with their other programmers but they are happy and satisfy with me..

Now let me explain you my problem, my 1st problem is this that i did not complete my academic education and thats why i am scared about my future, i don't really want to do a job, but some people told me that my freelance experience will not be count if i apply for good job it is correct? i wanted to get admission in BS, but without my Higher Education i cant get admission there, but i don't want to waste more time on completing my college, is academic qualification more important then experience in Our field? please tell me what should i do?

should i do college and then BS?
Should i do some job for experience or stick with my freelance web business?
will i need academic qualification in future?

without taking any web development class i did several medium size projects, here you can see a sample i did for my client : www.css2site.com

i am waiting for your replies
Thanks
