Advice appreciated
#1
Background -- I'm 51 and have a couple chronic pain/fatigue conditions where brain fog is so bad at times I forget what shoelaces are and call them those things you tie your shoes with. Right now I'm determined to slough through classes to get to some sort of purpose. I'm also highly introverted and a little ADD.

Currently -- I'm enrolled in Pierpont for a credit dump to get that BOG AAS. I don't need help there.
I'm also enrolled in a well respected college here locally (albeit I'm doing virtual because - yanno- introverted) for their Mediation training that will get me registered with the state as a mediator.

I'd like to get a bachelors and perhaps a masters, but one step at a time. I'm looking at UMPI because I like that I could potentially fast track the classes needed and get it done quick and cheap. 
My priorities are:
Valid, respected degree
Cheap
Fast

I'm really interested in things that tie in well with mediation and conflict management.

I'm open to any and all advice. I'd love something where the Pierpont AAS could be a stepping stone and knock out a lot of credits toward that Bachelor. I'd love something where I could transfer in a lot of ACE credit and the 24 RA credits I have. I'm open to thoughts.

I can list the RA courses in about an hour when I'm back home and have the list. You can see my ACE credits so far in the signature but I'm diligently working to knock out more of them before the month is out.

Thank you for reading, this forum and the members have brought me so much closer to knocking off a major regret and a bucket list item.
