Let me add another option for Justin to consider.  Many colleges now offer
courses over the web, which allows you to keep your job while pursuing your
degree.  At WITC we now offer our 2-year associate degree program in
Computer Information Systems entirely over the web
http://www.witc.edu/pgmpages/cispa/newrichmond/index.htm.  Our CIS associate
degree program is iSeries and RPG focused.  This means you can now complete
your associate degree without leaving home.

And we have a partnership with Franklin University
http://alliance.franklin.edu/wisconsin/witc/ which allows the student to
ultimately complete a four year bachelors degree.
