Already a software engineer, degree worth it?
#2
I think it can be worth it for a number of reasons. The first of which, you've already mentioned: that nagging feeling of never having finished a degree. If you're not spending a fortune on a degree, the sense of accomplishment can be totally worth it. Secondly, you're a software developer right now; this is good. Congratulations on your accomplishments so far! But what if something unfortunate happens and you have to change careers for some reason? For instance, once you get "too old" for the local market or you can no longer deal with the stress of deadlines. Having a degree of some kind will open more doors these days than not having a degree.

Also, the inexpensive Georgia Tech Masters in Computer Science isn't quite MIT, but it's pretty prestigious all the same.
