Once again Sanantone, thank you for your prompt response.
In answer to your question, I want two degrees to just kind of have them.
As I understand it, BA in Social Science is very diverse with where you can go with it.
Also, it seems to be the most attainable (quickest and least expensive) in the near future. I have so many certifications in IT and run my own, successful, consulting business in the computer science arena. I will get my IT degree at some point but studying other areas that isn't only technology is very stimulating and appealing at the moment. I've been taking certification classes and studying technology for so long, I want a break.
I also have been strongly considering changing careers in the next few years and having two degrees will give me some backing when it comes to the different roads I could take. I started creating an Excel spreadsheet to walk myself through the certifications / classes as I take them. How does this look as a preliminary?

It's not much yet but it's what I'm working with to set a course and a plan.
In case its hard to read, I only have a few CLEP tests on there to fill the corresponding requirements. How does this look as a start?
CLEP CE College Composition (6 credits) to satisfy ENC-101 / 102 (I also have a transferring English 1A class from a CC for 3 credits. It has a poor grade though so I might not want them to use it.)
CLEP CE Natural Sciences (General) (6 credits) to satisfy Natural Sciences 3 credit course for GE
CLEP CE Humanities (General) (6 credits) to satisfy 6 of the 9 needed credits for Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences or Interdisciplinary
CLEP CE English Literature (3 credits) to satisfy the remaining 3 needed credits for Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences or Interdisciplinary
If my math and understanding is correct, the above starting point will give me a total of 21 credits towards my GE. I'm still working on it and I am obviously still new but I am using both the wiki and the forums to piece this together. You guys are seriously great and I am very appreciative.
