I went back for the same reason. I decided on TESU and teaching cert. There are various more cost effective teaching degrees that require less time than WGU. Some even partner with online schools. I don't know where live, but check out the requirements first.
In Florida the county next door will give you emergency teaching credentials so you are working full time and offer an alternative route. From what I heard from teachers is that it is better to have a degree with courses so that you can move to upper elementary and middle school if you choose AND not to get a masters as they pay less for teachers with BAs. If you have a MEd with no experience you will not be an attractive hire.
Maine Presquile has an BA with a focus on Education too.
