I don't think you need the degree. I think you are talented enough as it is, and I would advise you keep on truckin' down the path your discussing in this thread.
How to break into IA/UXD, I don't know. Probably the best way to get started is to determine goals for professional yourself. "What is my ideal position?" "Do I want to manage teams, or be a part of a team being managed?" I don't know what your reading habits are, but maybe transition from reading design and culture blogs, to strictly UI/UX/IA blogs, so that you can further develop what you already know.
Sounds like you have a clear idea of what you might want to do. The trick now is to follow through, and figure out how to do that I guess.
I don't think that throwing money at the degree is the best option. Perhaps find a start-up who needs a dual-class (lol, D&D reference) dev/designer like you, where you can get your feet soaked doing UI/UX/IA.
Best of luckâwish I had better advice, Stu.
