I would encourage you to go ahead, indeed if you pursue knowledge with passion you are better off than many full-time undergrads. The self-taught often develop highly unique points of view, beyond mainstream conventional wisdom.

In addition to online courses, you may want to seek out a tutor who will give you books, discuss them, and guide you in other ways. It might also help if you can form a study group of like-minded individuals. There are also interesting alternatives, like the Khan Academy or podcasts, which can serve as an introduction on specific topics.

Good luck. You have a great adventure ahead.
