I think a CS degree would be helpful and is worth looking into, especially if your associates lets you trim off a few courses. Don't look to the degree to make you more marketable, rather, look for the deeper understanding of the math to help you solve problems that others can't. If you're interested in being the person who builds the tools rather than using them, I think you'll find yourself going further with a degree. In addition, you may get more out of it because you're not starting from scratch.
