This sounds like my path. I left my B&M school to pursue my interests in programming and computer technology while employed full time as a computer tech. I worked 6 days per week and supplemented my income with on site service jobs that paid cash. I spent my free time writing computer games and learning how to program more effectively. I then earned my MCSE certification and was ultimately hired full time as a Java programmer. Then I picked up a Java certification and an MCSD certification within one year of full time employment. From that point on, I was fully entrenched in my career and forgot about college for a long time.
