I know alot but have no degree

I have another question. If a bachelors requires e.g A,B,C,D,X,Y,Z courses and another requires A,B,C,D,P,Q,R courses, will I have to do A,B,C,D again to get the second degree? Would I have to give the CLEP tests again?

You generally don't have to re-take a course in a second degree, but there may be other restrictions in pursuing a second degree. Particularly with a second degree that is close enough to the first degree to have overlap in the AOS, or significant overlap outside of General Education courses. In fact, many schools will outright refuse to allow you to take a closely aligned second bachelors degree. Even without any other restrictions, some schools (like TESU for example) will also require a certain amount of new credits in the second degree that were earned after the first degree was conferred.

If you're interested in multiple degrees, its generally recommended to get the second degree in a different area than the first anyway, otherwise you're diluting the value you gain from the second degree. A completely different area shows breadth. If you want to show a depth of focus, I suggest either switching to a more focused degree to begin with, or consider a certificate (or a masters after completing the first degree).
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
