40 and need a degree ... where to begin?

I've been thinking about this idea for a day or so and struggling to suggest something. There's a recent thread about relative costs of the big 3. That might help.

People embarking on a non-traditional degree need to be ready for the DIY aspect -- one has to be involved in the process to do this.
Average people test out of classes, but it takes persistence & willingness to spend lovely Saturdays in spring with your nose in a book to get it done.
It might be good to have a rough roadmap for "no credit at all, totally new to higher ed" and one for "some credit, but more than a year left".
