I would not go back to college unless it was absolutely necessary for my chosen vocation. The tuition/debt plus opportunity cost is just too high. So if you want to be a teacher or accountant, then a degree makes sense. But if you want to code, teach yourself, find freelance gigs to hone your skills, and then look for a job. If you just want to learn for the heck of it, get a library card. It's cheaper and will give you a better education.
