Scheme worth it?

Essentially what the subject says

Is it worth it?

I can see the idea behind the concept of homoiconicity, but really, wouldn't it be a waste of time for a seasoned programmer to learn to use it?

I tried to watch the MIT lectures, but they were godawfully boring

This. However, I wouldn't hold it against someone if they choose to use Scheme instead. It usually comes down to the programmer's tastes which he prefers, or which is more suitable for his problem. Myself, I prefer using CL for most things, but Scheme is attractive for using for some embedded stuff since it's easier to implement and much tinier (R5RS at least, can't say the same for R6RS+).
