I know that some|many of our list members are professional 
programmers, programming in various languages for a living.

I've started back at college for a Comp Sci degree; I'm 38 (in two days ugh!)

My question to all the programmers here is:

Do you have to have a B.Sc. to make a living as a programmer?

Amongst my other classes I'm taking a pre-calculus class.  Then I'll 
have four more years of advanced math to take in addition to all my 
other prerequisites and majors classes.

While I 'like' math, I'm not sure I can take 4 years of calculus, 
mostly since I just want to program not be a mathematician.

Then there is the fact that I won't finish a four year degree in four 
years.  My best estimates are about six.  I'd get my degree by the 
age of 44, not that should matter much but it does in a way, at least 
to me.
