I might suggest a third option, which I pursued. Found a job at a public university system in my pre software development role. Received tuition remission and worked full-time while also going to school part time (online) -- my job would cover six credits a semester. And since I already had a bachelors, I was able to get a bachelors in computer science with 42 or 45 credits, and graduate in about 2.5 years (including summer courses).
