I'd be very careful about going back to school for a serious amount of time in the software field. Partly because I believe a lot of experience can be gained by yourself, in a much shorter amount of time. Think of it this way: 6 months of hacking code in the evening should get you pretty close to where you want to be. Recent software college grads get hired by large companies, and frankly I think they'd wouldn't look at your resume twice. They'd pass on you in a heartbeat.
