you don't need to go to college to get a job as a software developer... However you'll probably be limited to smallish startups.
You don't need to go to college to get a job as a software developer - in 2014. What about in 2008? Or 2001? You're already talking about limitations and this is when times are relatively good. When times are bad there will be many applications for each job opening, with a decent chunk of them being people with diplomas. That is for jobs that don't require a BSCS.

"BS or MS. in computer science or a closely related field"
These are good times, wait until the economy gets bad and money dries up like during the dot-com crash or banking crisis.
