I know some things have changed since I was last one here

It might help to look at financial world's plan and old postings. You will see a lot of these questions have already been answered in the past.
My wife has a finance degree and is doing very well for herself, but I doubt that a degree in accounting would hold you back.
Thomas Edison has a degree in financial management too.
There is a lot of overlap until you get to the end so just start knocking out the business core:
microeconomics, macroeconomics, marketing, management, statistics, accounting I&II, business law, information systems etc.

I bet you could knock out 4 CLEPs per month if you dedicate yourself.
