Hello Professor T :) I think what is becoming clear to me is that 4 yr universities seldom offer classes to working professionals. It seems that I either have resolve the work conflict, or look for a community college program. I'll have to do a bit more research into both options. Thank you for the thoughtful response, but I do have another question if you have the time, which is that are you aware of part time jobs open to software engineers at universities, be it IT, labs, or staff? The reason I ask is I once saw a twitter thread asking if anyone has a full time software engineers at their bio lab. I think it was from UPenn. To me, it seems like a great trade (even if $ = 0) - it's sometimes difficult to allocate grant money to hiring a full-time engineer, and as a SWE I can get access to advance research and a group of experts. Plus it would potentially make tuition cheaper. I'm just not sure if such demand even exist.
