Ask HN: 28 years old, start university or intern?

I've been living off online poker for the past 5 years. I decided to quit poker and pursue something more fulfilling. So, last year I enrolled in a web design (community college) program with the plan to transfer to university after 1 year and study CS. Now I'm unsure if I want to be spending the next 4 years of my life in university, because by the time I graduate I'll be 32yo. Although, without a CS degree I'll have less leverage over my employers, and my options are going to be limited if I later decide to work outside of web design.

So here are my options:

- Build a portfolio and try to get an internship in front end, JS, or UX design.

- Complete 1 more year of community college, then intern.

- Start 4 year CS degree studies. I'm approved for grant money that would cover 2/3 of the costs.

- Continue learning on my own and build things. I have money saved up that I can live off of for 2 years.

Note: I have NO work experience, as I've been living off online poker for a long time. I'm interested in so many things (front end, back end, UX/UI), but the end goal would be to start my own thing or work remotely once I gain experience in the field. I've wanted to study CS for a long time now, because many areas of it interest me, but 4 years is a long time for someone who's starting at 28 years old.
