So, quick background:
I went to college originally for electronics but dropped out after a year and a half because I really, really didn't like it. I spent the next couple years fixing computers and recently got a job at a large animation studio that does both CG and Stop-Mo. I work in Education and have been helping with documentation and have learned quite a bit about CG which is awesome.

Recently my boss has been encouraging me to look into some sort of school program for something I'm interested in. The problem is everything from 3D modeling, to web/graphic design, to compositing all spark my interest. Also, the studio would like to pay for m schooling which is beyond awesome, I just need to find a program that will work with my work schedule which may prove to be interesting.

My question is two-fold. One, what are your opinions of online programs. Personally I'd much rather to school and meet people, but it might be hard with a 40 hour work week. And two, does anyone have any suggestions for a degree or program that might fit someone who is design minded and wants to move up in the animation world. I'm in Portland, OR if that helps.

Also, are any of you going to SIGGRAPH this year?
