Are you going to go into management? Do you ever want to work in a large company that you did not build, as anything other than a developer or development related discipline like developer, admin or architect? Do you want to do scientific research? Do you want to teach at the university level? If the answer to any of those is yes then you may want to consider a degree. If the answer is no, then you should really consider the value proposition of higher education. Keep in mind that many believe that there is an ongoing bubble in education and that the prices and value of education will continue to decline. The influx of regulations and lending has caused significant inflation in the cost of attaining a degree while at the same time reducing the real world value of that degree.
