OP, have you considered taking an internship? I know jobs are ideal but an internship would give you some more experience.

Yes. A lot of places want that degree, and will list it as a requirement.

Job "requirements" are really just general guidelines.

If you are an experienced developer of ASP.NET web applications, and a job listing for a developer says you must have a CS degree, it is meaningless. Fact is you are in demand and hard to find, and 95% of companies with that listing will be very interested in speaking with you if you are looking for work.

First off, thanks everyone for your individual inputs. I greatly appreciate the answers and really took the time to think things over.

I do agree now that going back is probably not the best idea. I DO have an interest in CS, and am not just looking for a well paying job. What some have suggested is to study/learn some software/'languages' to eventually become a business analyst, which is something that sounds what I'd like to do -- SQL, SAP, etc.

Now I just have to find some good resources to study in my free time. I will eventually have to be certified, but I'll come to that crossroad later. Any suggestions on the best way to get started on the learning process, say with SQL?
