It all depends on you, not the year! If you feel the need and you are able to go back to school, that is only the begining! The good thing about going back to school after gaining some experience is that you don't take anymore BS from professors that are "I-Know-it-all-and-you-know-nothing" type. Also, if you are going back but you are taking an online program, is also different, because that requires even more discipline.
I do have a Master's degree but at that time we didn't have the Internet just yet. I even remember taking a class in Computer Graphics, and the computers were HUGE, all in a room that was 50F in the summer (and all year round) and the "Hard-drives" were like 20 inches in diameter and weighted around 6 pounds! And that was at New York Institute od Technology, in NYC!
Things have considerably changed since!
But you have to think that education is the best gift you can give yourself: The one with the most information is the one with more power!
