Do it! I was a self-taught developer for about 8 years before I finally decided to go back to school. I talked myself out of it many, many times. Then right before covid, I decided I wasn't getting any younger. So I literally sat down with an intro to algebra book and took it from there. I'm 42 now and just graduated with my BSCS degree. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Did it do anything for my career? I don't know yet, but what it did do is show me that I can accomplish my goals when I focus. I learned a lot about a subject I love and am an all around happier person for it. Now I'm not waiting anymore and will be moving onto my MS immediately.

Don't think let yourself talk you out of something you want.
