How Hard Is It To Break Into The Web Design Industry?

Since I was eleven, I have been designing web sites. Now I am eighteen years old and looking at tightening web design as a career. I'm no fool, I know what I know about web design is no longer enough to get a job. I either go to college or take a course in web design, but before he can do this kind of option that you should know:
Is it difficult to enter the web design industry, even with evidence of higher or university education and a portfolio?

    College is not required for a career in web design.
    You need to have the artistic skills and creativity to design cutting edge web pages, and be able to bring multiple pages together into a website.
    You need to understand the social network, and have an elemental understanding of marketing.
    You need to have good tech skills. HTML, Cold Fusion, PHP, whatever. Dreamweaver probably.
    Then you start building a portfolio. Build out a website of your own. Make it look great. Offer to build a few friends a website. Volunteer for a church, or fire station, or something like that.
    Then you have creative skills, technical skills, and a portfolio of your work that people can look at.
    Print some business cards up, and constantly network. Hit sites like Craigslist and look for work.
    Its not a hard career to break into, it can be a hard career to excel at, and make good money in.
    However, it can be done.
    College doesnt mean much. I would prefer a web designer with an art degree versus IT degree, and frankly it doesnt matter. Most great web designers are self taught.
