I'm self taught - but I did sign up for a 2 year college course after a couple of years scraping about on my own.
I didn't go much (it was teh worst course ever, I swear) and ended up striking out and teaching myself.
Sometimes I wish I had the conceptual half of design more ingrained and that I was equiped with more "design chat" to get ideas through to clients, but not often. I concentrated on giving myself the technical skills I would need to complement my inate creativity (surely we all have that?)and I'm glad I did.
Had the courses available allowed me to do both those things, I would have been in my seat everyday though. Education is ALWAYS a bonus if you can afford to get it.
