A bit lost and need some advice/help thanks!

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.

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 =).

Not 2 bachelor's. One bachelor- from the fastest to the slowest, we're talking about 6-12 months difference. Pick the one that will help you get that career you want, not simply that will "check the box." A check-the-box degree works best when someone already is mid-career and is being held back from promoting, that's different from someone wanting to learn a skill and start a new career. Take your time, you've got alot of good credit that will all transfer easily into the colleges you're looking at. Spend today and tomorrow picking the degree that will help you land that job, and then from there you can plan! Welcome to the board!
