Best option for a fast Associate's in I.T. or something related? Total noob!

@Alec311, Everyone will have different views on how to do things, you can decide what you want to do. Generally, I would go with the trifecta of Certs, Degree, Experience. Basically... If you're trying to break into IT, the Associates should be enough along with the Coursera/TADA certificate offerings as it will give you some experience in those subjects along the way.

You really don't need an IT degree to be in IT, so if you want to prepare for future aspirations of management, you can do the UMPI BABA PM&IS. Again, it depends on your needs or wants... all the advice you read is valid, it's up to you to see which way you want to land. UMPI Project Management & Info System is not a true Info System degree, it's more Project Management.
