Put it off for a few man, if you're writing your own checks a degree won't get you a raise.

You've probably learned more about biz from experience than another 2-4 years anywhere will teach you. Unless you plan on working for someone right after school I'd keep rolling with your current biz plans. They're paying your bills now and I'm sure you're smart enough to make sure that they keep paying them in the future.

Unless you want to brag agout a degree I don't think you need it right now. 5 years ago... RIGHT out of high school at 18, I went to work for a consulting firm in san francisco (programming). 6 months into my entry level (45k) position I got a raise and promoted. I was a senior developer in charge of 4 people that had degrees. They hated me

Anyway, they went bankrupt during the whole dotcom bust. And now im here

It's all about skills and being able to get the job done.
