Hey PositiveSoul, got your PM. It seems you created a copy/paste thread of the PM you sent me earlier, I've responded to a couple of your posts over the years... Here's a snippet from roughly 3.5 years ago: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid299342
Late to post a reply, but I actually think a second Bachelors would not be a bad idea depending on What the Bachelors is in... or in your case, a first bachelors. For example, a few members on this board and the sister board have multiple Bachelors degrees. Basically, it boils down to what you want to do with your education and how you want to roll with it, someone on this board or the sister board doesn't make that decision for you, they can give you the pros and cons, but ultimately - go with the gut. You may need that Bachelors to get into a different Masters program as there may be prerequisites for that Masters.
My recommendation pretty much remains the same, basically, go with your gut feelings on what you want to accomplish. In this case, transfer all you have to Pierpont BOG AAS with an emphasis of your choice, if you want to change the emphasis to something like IT, get some Technical credits using Coursera, TEEX in addition to Sophia.org then you can ladder up to the UMPI Bachelors of choice.
If you want a BAS, you need the technical credits you're currently missing... You can then take remaining transfer credits using Study.com (if any are missing for the BAS, BLS, or BA/BABA), you need 30 residency credits at UMPI, you can take the 3-4 classes that can transfer into the MAOL if you wanted to, just in case you want to get the MAOL later on.
