not to lay it on too thick or anything, but this is *exactly* what you *shouldn't* do. it seems to me that it is an all to common road the people take here - they don't want to pay their dues by working their butts off in a hard school for four years, and *then* go get an awesome job and tackle the next stage of their career. they want to take a short cut and take a few classes here and there while working full time - inevitably they end up mediocre results. i can't emphasize enough what a bad idea this is. this *will* stunt your growth - just suck it up, get through school and don't take short cuts. focus on one thing at a time: first education, next career. one business good business, two business bad business. wax on, wax off. paint the fence. focus. ya know? ;-) anyway, do what you think is best, but i suggest making a long term, focused investment in yourself rather than 'quick fix' or 'have my cake and eat it too' solutions.

I am still young and have options so I will definately chew on this. I have a great technology job and have grown a lot in just a matter of months. I am thinking of doing some school though, just not full time. If anybody has any recommendations for classes in Utah schools I think that would be great. I'll definitely be looking into the things that Levi linked to. And to answer TJ's question, no I'm not sure I want C/C++. ;) I don't honestly even know what is avaliable outside of web scripting. So I will be looking into that D language. Really appreciate all the thoughts.
