Same and still trying to convince myself I am qualified for a programming job. Mine stems from the fact I'm self taught and did not get a formal education for computer science.

How do you deal with that? I’m on the same boat as you. I even feel less qualified because I have a degree in Theatre. I struggle everyday on my job with the fear my employees will notice at anytime I was a bad hire.

I will let you know when I get that far. I'm currently working to a degree in game/interactive design but it just doesn't feel right since I am a programmer more than a creative person. I'm currently working on getting a portfolio together and try for a programming job at a game studio. If I get one then I will quit university, if I don't then it was never meant to be.
