If you go back, get a degree in an industry. Technical aptitude and skills are great and transportable to almost any field. A "proper education" makes you more valuable if you understand the problems to be solved in an industry like biotech, or greentech, etc. (probably not so much financial services these days)

It's kind of hard to pick an industry based on "what I think will be awesome 4 years later." Also I have no confidence in being able to do school for a subject I don't care about.
Hence CS is probably the only degree I'll be going back for. I would really like to learn assembly and proper C and C++. as well as algorithms and data structures....
