How do you achieve multiple degrees?

[Ariadne]

I am wondering how it works when you want to get degrees in different subjects or areas. If I have my Associate's degree, can I get another one if I feel like it and how would I go about that? Does it use the same base education credits that the first one used? The same question for Bachelor's; does it depend on the school? Will one school allow you to do a second Bachelor's and do they use many of the base credits for the second or third degrees?

I'm not looking at it from the perspective of using these for work, but just for the love and joy of learning and I've been impressed by many of the members here who have many degrees. How do you do it?

Thanks!
