I don't know if a degree is the solution, I'm open to anything. Right now, it feels like the lack of education excludes me from the following opportunities: Engineer at a BigCorp, funded cofounder/first hire (investors seem to want that pedigree), and tech lead/architect at a non-tech company that relies on the degree heuristic for leadership hires. I frequently see exciting job postings that require a bachelor's/master's CS degree, no exceptions.

You COULD keep working and pick it up on the side... I know when I KNEW I needed a degree to do the job I wanted, I got much better grades because I cared. When I was just going to school to check a box, I had a hard time caring.
