I already completed a BA in History back in 2010 but after being laid-off discovered quickly it didn't help much in my career. Shame really because I was planning on starting my master's, but alas. So now I too am finishing a BSBA. Depending upon how much time you can devote to this, you can finish it quickly. This is especially true if you have any transferrable previous college credits. I'd recommend ALEKS for the math credits, CLEP & DANTES/DSST for most of the courses you feel comfortable testing out of, Straighterline for those you aren't very comfortable testing out of, Penn Foster for the capstone unless you feel comfortable with the TECEP, and finally a TECEP or ECE for that last upper level course you'll need that the other sources I mentioned don't seem to have.
I understand what you mean. As I am trying to get back to work (have been working with my wife for about 15 years in her business), I find that it is almost impossible unless one has at least an Associates. I read and listen to books a lot, and I will be driving a lot so I intend to listen to podcasts of a lot of lectures. Otherwise, I will just have to make time. But it will be fun.
