Ah, I didn't intend to come off that way. In fact, I've only been out of school for a year now. What I was really getting at was that while in school, it's easy to allocate time to learning, since enrolling in a course effectively locks you into a schedule. That, and you have the benefit of having peers and teachers with whom you can discuss any thoughts or questions that come up.
As far as mathematics go, I took the bare minimum classes that were required for a CS degree: Calc 1 & 2, Linear Algebra, & Discrete Mathematics/Structures. Of course, I can go through text books and online courses on my own at this point, but dedicating regular time for this seems to be the hardest part.

If you want to enjoy linear algebra without the pressure of doing any, I can heartily recommend MIT's open coursewear videos featruring Gilbert Strang http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK3O402wf1c&list=PLE7DDD91010BC51F8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK3O402wf1c&list=PLE7DDD91010... In fact all the MIT stuff I have tried is fun to watch
