So are you looking for a four year journey, or are you looking for a real challenge?
just my opinion, jurgen
I'd like to have a degree and the education. Even with my networking experience there are many jobs that want someone with a 4 year degree, so it would be useful even if I stay in networking. I think that once I have a degree I probably will actually change careers to work with it. I learned a bunch of stuff the first time I went to college, but there is so much more that I can learn.

Ultimately college will turn out cheaper than hobbies/Porsches, and will pay me back in the long run. Besides, it's a lot easier to get the wife to let go of a couple of grand for school than for a couple of Recaros. Besides, I do find learning and Physics and math interesting.

But your opinion is welcome, thank you.
