I've been a jack of trades in the web dev/IT space for an embarrassingly long time (considering how little money I make). Two years ago I decided to go back to school to finish college (I'm 45), this time w/ the aim of pursuing a degree in computer science. So far so good: I'm less mystified/intimidated by math than I was and the intellectual stimulation of the academy is a refreshing change from corporate software engineering shops where innovative, forward-looking ways of doing things is not necessarily embraced as a virtue. Anyway, nothing ventured, nothing gained I say.
