If I were you, I'd finish your degree, go work for a decent company, and maybe take a class or two a semester, then go back. Hell, there are PLENTY of employers with tuition reimbursement programs or continuing education programs where they'll pay for most (or ALL) of your extended schooling provided you make a minimum GPA. That would be where it's at, IMO, for your situation.
