That's an awesome early start. You did not say if you have a degree yet. If you don't that can be a great way to step back from working and explore some new topics. Part of the benefit of the general electives at a university is that you have some chance to explore some subject areas in depth that you might not have otherwise had the chance to get interested in. For example I took an archeology class that covered the puzzle of Linear A and it sparked an interest in computational linguistics.

I think a lot of people go to college too early to really benefit from it and it is an awesome experience if you can approach it from more than just a credential gatekeeping you from your chosen career.
