Is there an online school that is SL/Sophia/Study.com friendly that has a web-development focus? Work at your own pace, and with regional accreditation? Or possibly mobile development. Those areas also interest me.

Don't feel unmotivated and dont care about your age, you can have personal growth at any age.

Try to generate the habit of completing at least one course per month, anyone.

If you chose COSC Cybersecurity degree they ask for 11 CSS courses that you can't transfer from Study.com, SL, Saylor or Sophia; i dont know if you can transfer these courses from TEEX or another online resource, but if not, and you need to pay COSC tution, you will pay about 13.000 usd to meet this request.

If you want any degree, BALS at COSC or Excelsior is the fastest one, if you want something more meaninful and with more "job impact" BSBA is a good choise.

IT related degress takes so long and are very frustrating because of the time every course takes, the difficulty and the fact of re-take exams due to dont reach minimum grade, etc. If you want to work on software industry as free lancer, i think autodidact way is better (to learn by yourself with internet resourses), specially for mobile apps; universities courses have a big gap in this issue, what industry request now is more advanced that what universities teach.

With this last advice I don't want to say don't look for your degree, but that you maybe must consider BALS or BSBA...

If you actually dont know what degree you want to do, don't keep thinking about this, start with the general education courses (those that are the same for all degrees) while you keep thinking about this...

What is "BALS" ?  Is that a B.A. in Leadership Studies?

As Jamshi says, it is BA in Liberal Studies, you can finish it under 4500 usd, and in few month, they just ask for 27 upper credits (plus capstone) in any liberal art courses (math, history, psycology, sociology, etc), another 30 credits LL in liberal arts courses that you can finish fast, easy and cheap by using Shmoop; and the general education + free electives courses.

It is usually the most flexible degree
The only bad thing is it have no big job imact, but you will have your degree.

You can finish this in few month and then keep thinking in a IT degree; this is the fast way.

Shmoop looks great, I never even heard of them.  Is there a list of all the places that let you take classes for college credit? I have heard of:
StraighterLine
Shmoop
Study.com
Sophia

Before today, I only heard of StraighterLine, so there must be a lot of them.

I don't see a BA in Liberal Studies at COSC.  Do you mean a "Bachelor of Arts in General Studies"?

Hah, hard to imagine getting a degree in a few months when it has eluded me for decades.  I have a major interest in drama and theater also, does that fall under "Liberal Arts"? Its probably under English.

Wow, I just found the BALS using Google:

It actually has a lot of the non-tech things I like.
