No, don't bother. Maybe later in your life if you've got nothing better to do. If you can't find your $60k+ job, then college can be a good economic buffer (living off loan money) until you do.
If you're already questioning it, you're probably going to be questioning it every year of school whether you should drop out or keep going. This could lead to misery, especially if you lose interest in what the school is teaching. The networking benefit of school is overrated; networking with other professionals is better than networking with other students. (You can also more easily get around degree requirements if you're getting a job at a company where someone you know already works there.) The 'variety of topics' at schools is overrated too; you can get such a broader knowledge of things in your spare time, and as another commenter mentioned front-end dev is rarely covered at all in a CS degree and you can learn so many other things not covered just from doing your job.
I would recommend actually learning about the material covered in a CS degree in your spare time. Use your job money to buy a few books -- if you don't know what to buy, many schools have a required/suggested book list organized by course. Two I'd recommend are Pike and Kernighan's The Practice of Programming and Skiena's The algorithm design manual, the latter of which goes over enough CS that if you ever wanted a "Software Engineer" job instead of front-end work you would be able to handle most any technical interview question.
