Unsure what to pursue

It really depends on your established resume (what's your line of expertise?), your end goal, how many hours you wish to work, and your flexibility in scheduling, etc.

Thanks. I may be limited to the less expensive Masters programs. I'm not sure.

My resume is just doing the health/life coaching online part-time, freelance IT stuff online part-time (and one low-paying part-time IT job long ago), and having my own small online businesses. And it's harder to get recommendations and proof, because of it being mostly one-time work for various people (and business that were shut down a long time ago don't really inspire confidence). The majority of employers don't like that my work experience is so "informal". As a new graduate (someday), I figured some would be ok without much relevant work experience.

I want to work full-time if I can, if the job is enjoyable enough and less taxing on me, but I would be ok with part-time for a higher-paying more-taxing job. Some flexibility would be ideal. That is one concern of mine too - many better paying jobs seem to be full-time only. If I managed to get one, and then I need to decrease my hours due to health, would I lose the job entirely?

If possible, I do need more breaks (than most jobs offer), but it could work that I can intersperse some "busy work" or easier stuff with the main work and have a "break" during that.

The end goal is to have work that's rewarding, ideally in these fields, and hopefully that doesn't take months or years to be hired for (after schooling).
