Dropped out of a biology-related degree some years ago. Taught myself to code and have been working professionally ever since. I’m not conspicuous about it as people don’t ask and I don’t feel comfortable asking my network about this since a lot of them don’t know I didn’t finish college.

I’m getting more interested in graduate computer science studies and think it would be a great learning experience doing a CS undergrad and eventually masters. I’m trying think about the best way to finish up. For engineers that have been in my shoes and decided to go back to finish their degree, how did you go about it? Was it worth it? And if you are in the Bay Area what great value schools are good for adult students trying to finish their degree?

Any insights would be much appreciated.
