Initially, I would be attending a regional extension of a well-respected accredited university.
Regarding the anxiety, even after I had my UC under control, anxiety and worry were still a huge problem in my life. I think this was because, even when I was in elementary school, I would worry and have panic attacks just thinking about the possibility of having a flare-up. I really can't underscore enough how this way of thinking dominated my life up until a couple years ago. Realistically, I believe that the toll this disease took on me was more damaging psychologically than physically because of the limits I placed on myself out of fear.
I have a hard time believing that I'll be able to get a job at any reasonably respectable company just by teaching myself certain programming languages. I know exponentially more about system architectures and linux when compared to anyone else at my company, but others who have been at the company longer than I are still called upon when knowledge regarding either of these topics is needed. It just seems like, in this economy, going back to school is the only real way to get ahead.
