You have competing interests to consider. You are doing well with an associate's degree, so you have the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" argument. However, you are obviously someone who understands that each day brings the opportunity for new triumphs and new problems. In short, "It ain't broke now, but it may get broken." My personal opinion is that gaining more education is never a bad thing. The question is, do you have the time, money, and physical stamina to work full-time, have a family/personal life, and pursue a college degree? I can't answer those questions for you, but from what I think I know about you from what you've already said, I am pretty sure you can.
I managed to do quite well in my career with only an associates. There is value to be had in hands-on experience as well, which is why most job listings state "X degree OR comparable relevant experience". Don't downplay your achievements or undervalue yourself. That said, I also acknowledge that there are some situations in which you will hit a wall and need to pursue additional education if you want to move beyond that.
