If I were you, I'd take part time college classes and keep my current foot in the industry. Yes you will take longer to finish your degree but you don't have to worry about that if you are already employed. Besides, employers will respond better to somebody who is in the process of finishing their degree as opposed to somebody who never started in the first place. Finally worst that could happen is that you get fired and you don't find other employment. In that case you can enroll for full time study.
