Starting from essentially zero except for ten years work experience
#6
I'd also start with those free Sophia courses--maybe any of their 1-credit ones, to get a feel for the platform while still learning productively. ALEKS (a math course provider for our purposes) is currently offering two courses for free for two months, if you start before April 30. Lastly, you could also look at the free TEEX (Texas A&M) course series, but they aren't going anywhere.

You'll have to do several gen ed courses for a BS degree, but you can get started on your journey right now by knocking out some of those Sophia offerings.
