New to this, need advice

If you're looking to get ANY degree, and you've worked in IT, you might want to consider getting an IT degree at WGU - it actually may be your fastest and cheapest option. You can transfer in a bunch of credits (90), but but you may only need to transfer in 60-80 and still be able to finish in a single term, depending on how quickly you can get through everything.

Just a thought.  And, it has University in the name for what it's worth.

If the OP has a significant number of IT certs, then he may even have a bigger leg up.

That said, if I truly wanted to make teaching my vocation, I'd think my long term goals through, then pick my degree to further them rather than just taking the fastest or cheapest. "Checking the box" makes more sense for people who are staying in their current career.

He wants to teach English as a Foreign Language, so it isn't necessary to get a degree in something else - anything will do.
