Finish this course and you'll have a better grounding than many of today's professional programmers, and will be able to teach yourself pretty much anything.
One of my friends is workingthrough SICP. (He left his job becauee he felt burnt out and wanted to do something different before he went back into a 9 to 5 job). He is posting the answers on his blog (http://lawfulsamurai.blogspot.com/search/label/SICP). This might be helpful to you

A bunch of HN folks have formed a SICP study group, if you choose this route: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=428248

Wow, he started in December and he's on chapter 4 already!
I would be happy to finish SICP in one year.
[edit: Now I am reading his blog more closely and he only started posting his answers in December. He started reading SICP in July]
