HI, ok formal cs university degree here... would I recommend it? Erm depends on the work you have to do. I don't believe it's the best education/background for this kind of work. It has helped me to do the work I have to do, but it's not helping me getting the work I want to do :). And then again it's been so long ago, I'm probably led by experience 99% of the time anyway and not by what I 'learned' in school. When the kids grow a little bit older I'll be sure to pickup some kind of education again, but it will probably be art or music (or psychology always a favorite as well). I don't see myself doing CS university stuff again to see what's new in the field, I'd rather do some selfstudy then. One of the biggest issues I always had with this kind of education is that, although you learn to stick through something hard etc etc, almost none of the teachers could give me a valid reason why I had to learn what they were teaching. Instead of "well if you are building this cool rpg game you'll be needing a*", it was more like "well because I was told to teach you this stuff". That's why it's theorical cs, you know a lot, and you can't do [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you don't get some work experience :)
