every year you don't go to school makes it much harder to go back. if you don't have a degree and varied training - and the demonstrated ability to learn - you'll get harder to employ as time goes on. sounds like a great opportunity, but i encourage you to think long term. you've just been validated, in part, but i worry that the kind of work you're doing will be equivalent to a factory job in a couple of decades, and you'll be in a similar position for job prospects.
