College choice
#1
Hello!

Your Location: California, USA
Your Age: 33
What kind of degree do you want?: Information Technology
Budget: No budget but would still like to spend as little as possible or close to it.
Commitments: My spouse and dog, I work full time from home.
Dedicated time to study: My work at home job is very slow-paced. I have as much time as needed to study during the day and limited hours at night.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No.

Current Regional Accredited Credits:
Folsom Lake Community College
ANTH 310 Cultural Anthropology, 3 Units, C Grade

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
No.

Any certifications or military experience?
No.

I've been looking for a long time but haven't taken any action. Something finally told me that it was time. I'm looking to build myself a degree plan but I'm wondering what college makes the most sense for me. I was thinking WGU but want to get other input. I want a bachelor's or possibly a master's degree in Information Technology. I figured I'd start with a bachelor's first and work my way to a master's if that's where life takes me. Does this make sense or am I better off aiming for a master's from the get-go? I'm starting from practically nothing, I have 1 junior college class under my belt. I started many classes at the junior college but I always quit before the miracle happened. I always had excellent grades up until the point of dropping all my classes. That was just about 15 years ago and a lot has changed. I have a decent job already but I want a job that I actually enjoy. Any guidance on choosing a school would be greatly appreciated.

I'm thinking I'd like to start with Coursera because it's free through the library. Any guidance on transferrable courses would be great as well. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this!
