I realize that my amount of significant free time is very limited. I rarely clock less than 50 hours a week for work, the norm is more like 55-60. I'm working on my M.A. in Humanities/History and I do enough side projects (grading papers, building websites, etc.) to choke a horse.
But still this degree looks interesting and seems like it would be fun. Just check out the course modules:
And some of the instructors are fairly interesting:
Richard Bartle
Jesper Juul
Jessica Mulligan
The upside is I think I can talk the company into paying for it, since it would be directly relevant to my work. Of course the downside is I'm probably setting myself up for yet more pressure and this doesn't seem like a fully recognized/accredited program.
