Thanks for the advice, well, I wouldn't be taking any time off work, I would have to continue as a part-time student as I currently work full-time. I think that it may be best to just get a general bachelor's so I can "check the box" on applications as it seems some companies just care about having a degree period and I'm not sure the return on investment for taking out more student loans, etc to get a CS bachelor's may be worth it as I could potentially later put that towards getting a Master's instead if I decide to continue with my formal education.
