If you work full time and you go to school for a CS degree, you're not going to have time for a lot of "fun" unless you just blow off the studying part of being a student (and, in my opinion, having a CS degree without actually having studied is going to be largely worthless in the marketplace as it's pretty straightforward to determine programmer who can do the work and those who cannot).

That was my entire point.

Either do the degree and spend both your time and money on school, or don't do the degree and spend your time and money on fun. But you don't have enough time to do all 3 (and you also don't have enough money to do all 3.)
