Well, I have to combine work and study. I have plenty of experience when it comes to programming and quite a bit in ML/Deep Learning, Q, I mostly play around with pySC2, trying to build a system able to mimic a human player. Computer Science degrees are a very "basic" and broad intro to a very large set of sub-disciplines, useless to me. AI research in its core is a discipline of Applied Mathematics mixed with Neuroscience, especially when it comes to the research relevant to AGI models.
