Why do you want a degree? The main point of that seems to be immigration.

I've considered a degree because I'm not very good at algorithms and have next to no interest spending time doing this on my own.

That being said I've decided against it because, who cares? I'd rather build up my portfolio.

Do something multidisciplinary like GIS, you'll learn all the interesting geography bits as well as working with spatial data. It's an interesting field and the technology is becoming increasingly relevant.
