A bit lost and need some advice/help thanks!
#1
Hey I read a lot of threads, posts, and the wiki. But I'm still a bit overwhelmed and a bit lost. I was hoping you guys can advise me on what to do.

Background can skip
I want to get my life back together and try to get my bachelors. I finished high school years ago and attended college part time. During the course of my life I decided to just get a job and work. But as time went on I dragged on going back to school to get a bachelors. As I'm getting older the fear is sinking in. I cannot survive in this world with a part-time job, and doing freelance on the side. I need that bachelors to get a full time job and take my life back into control.

What I have now

My questions


I want to attend a school that is 100% distance learning no on campus requirements. I was thinking between Thomas Edison State University or Charter Oak State College. Both of these colleges I heard takes in majority of credit transfers. I'm not sure if my certifications will do anything, I know WGU takes them as credits.

Which bachelors is the easiest to attain at the moment with the most credit transfers from other sources?
I read on here I can get free college credits FEMA or doing SL to get credits to transfer in?
I'm still a bit confused on SL/CLEP and other credit places. Do most people take SL/CLEP for college credits because its easier/cheaper than the actual school course?
Once you transfer in your credits for your bachelors can you use the same credits to attain another bachelors in same school/or another school?

I was planning on getting a computer related bachelors but if its easier to attain another bachelors that take in majority of credits i can get from SL/CLEP. I was thinking of doing that first then attaining another bachelors. or getting more certifications etc

Thanks for taking the time to read this =).
My Plan: Earn a MSML or a MBA at WGU!
