I’m in my early 40s. I just finished my Bachelors last year after 15 years in software. I did it on evenings and weekends, 2 courses at a time for about 3 years (I already had my associates) I’m really pleased that I went back to school and finished, but school didn’t impart me with some mystical information that I couldn’t learn elsewhere. University education in the topics under computer science are going to be theory based, which is great if you want to pursue the science of it. I’m a strong advocate of higher education, and I’m never going to tell someone to not go back. I will tell you that I doubt school is going to give you the things you’re looking for. It might clear your schedule a bit to allow you to go after those things, but university study is largely structured. Sometime in your senior year you might get to structure your own education.
