Welcome to the forum. You're bound to get lots of well thought out responses - not from me, however. I'll just throw out some ideas until one of the thoughtful ones chimes in. While you're waiting to decide what to do, why not knock out some of those FEMAs? They're free and they're fast. If you're not in a time crunch, you can complete as many of them as you can without worrying about whether they'll transfer. It will help you build momentum. Some of them even earn a certificate. Also, no education is ever wasted.
Check around, some testing centers only charge the CLEP or DSST fee, and not an additional testing fee. This is a productive (and money-saving) way to use time until you start testing.
Regardless of whether you get a BS or a BA, there are certain general education credits you'll need. You can earn from CLEP. Check with the Big 3 to see which ones they accept. (My guess would be all of them, but that's just a guess.) The general education CLEPS are 6 credits for one testing fee.
Good luck.
