I want to do the Master, but I need to figure out what to do with my GPA. It is not 3.0 now.

Mine isn't either. If the application is free, you might as well give it a shot. Explain your GPA in a separate letter, or in your cover letter/letter of intent. The worst they can say is no, try again later, and you might be surprised and be accepted, either fully or conditionally.

Every school doesn't require a 3.0. Some schools are more friendly about degrees with few grades than others.

Congrats, you did it by putting in the effort and time needed to complete the degree! Yes, a Masters is a great option for further study, have you decided on what you're going for? I think if you've got the certificates, degree, and experience, a Competency Based degree at the Masters level will complement what you currently have...

Thanks, no I haven't decided on what Master yet. I would have to find an employer that would pay for it, first.
I know that Verizon is paying for it through Strayer MBA. The other option would be to do an MBA remotely in Europe.
I am leaning towards IT cert more. CS degree would be too much to handle for me.
Now I am thinking about taking LIB-495 in March term to finish my remaining BALS. I would have to see if Pell and Emergency Relief Fund will cover it.

You're no longer eligible for Pell Grants after completing a bachelor's degree: https://studentaid.gov/help-center/answers/article/earned-bachelors-or-professional-degree-do-i-qualify-for-federal-pell-grant
