This is why I am considering the BS. I already had the college experience at Penn State. Meaning parties, friends, girls, football, etc. This time it would be purely about going to class and learning. I bet I wouldn't even have to do Gen Eds since I already have a BS.
I think the marginal benefit of a second BS-level degree is small given the cost in time and money.
If you're going back to school then you should definitely consider an MS. Maybe you're worried that you wouldn't be accepted or that it would be too challenging? In that case, narrow down a list of universities/departments where you would like to enroll, and identify what you need to study in order to get accepted.
Alternatively, teach yourself, and try to join a top tech company that focus on making the kind of software you're interested in. Working with great programmers has a large impact on your learning. Perhaps you're underestimating this impact because your first job wasn't challenging enough.
