Need a degree to get the CFP

Definitely check to see if, and how many, credits you have already. It will save you both time & money if you have some credits. Especially if any of these credits happen to be English Composition!

Since you say you have "almost" unlimited money for this, I'm going to suggest that you might prefer ASU Universal Learner courses for at least some of your RA credits. See https://ea.asu.edu/courses/ and https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ar...al_Learner Each course only costs $25 to begin. You owe nothing further unless you pass the course in question, then it's another $400. If you don't pass the course, nothing happens; there's no record of your attempt on your ASU transcript.

A lot of courses consist mainly of watching videos or reading text weekly for 1-3 hours per class, then taking a quiz. Culminated by a proctored final exam. The ones I've taken are some of the most chill, yet also most interesting, classes I've had. If you take a class and it turns out that you've bitten off more than you can chew, you're only out the initial $25.

A few ASU classes to avoid would be: English Comp (so much writing), Intro to Sociology (I think this one also has essays), Human Communication (definitely essays), Intro to Psychology (might have essays). We do not yet know how the CIS-3XX courses are, because they are new, but some of them might be easy for you (due to your current employment) and could make good electives (BSBA Finance has 15 free electives) at the very least.
