taking my atlas off the shelf

chestnutcurlsLately I have been wondering how hard it would be for me to finish my geography degree. (I minored in geography, in case I haven't mentioned it before.) I spent this morning looking at the online catalog, and if I've worked everything out correctly, I am only 4 classes away from a second degree. I think this is pretty exciting, but there are arguments against going for it.
1- My company pays for further education, but only classes that have something to do with your job. I could argue that I do use geography in my job, but I don't think they'd buy it. So I'd have to pay for everything myself. I have never had to pay for school before, and I'm not sure if I can afford it.
2- Obviously I'd have to go to night class. Some of these courses might not even have a night session. And, in general, I think working all day and then going to class would suck. Lawson, I don't know how you keep doing it.
3- (and most important) It would be a completely useless degree, valuable only to me. However, when I was in high school, I always said I would get a degree that would get me a job, and then get a degree in something I actually liked. So I'd be keeping my word to myself. :P
I don't know.
