I have a degree in English but have had my own photography business for almost 30 years. I decided I'd go back to school and get my master's in Fine Art, with an emphasis in photography. It only took one semester of trying to learn how to paint with oils (one of several required Fine Art courses before I could even get to photography), for me to decide I could spend my time and money in much better ways. I would advise using it to buy film - or digital cards - and take workshops that interest you. There are lots of good workshops at Santa Fe and Maine. I took one by Stan Grossfeld on using photography to make a difference in Maine and one by Sam Abell on documentary projects in Santa Fe. The Leica seminars were fun and educational and, hopefully, will return someday, someway. Good luck on whatever you decide!
