Degree Planning Suggestions - Lets Try Again

I can handle a written paper or exams. I have broad experience, varying from Intelligence, Graduate Editor for FSU to whitewater raft guide. But I do not have an established career path. I have been considering Comp Sci/Info Systems. I would prefer to be a consultant/ business owner. I have experience creating a product, prototyping, and releasing it on the market. I have a couple homes I rent out, one I own outright, the other has 20 grand mortgage left on it. I am looking to shore up all these credits and find remote work until I can decide how I want to proceed forward.

Just depends on what you want.  I have no idea if any of these will get you to the goal of "Remote work, 6 figures annually."  Nobody can promise you that, it's on you to create a path that gets you to that goal and we can tell you if the degree you're wanting would help on that path or not.  If you currently work PT delivering pizza, that path is going to be harder than if you have 5 years of experience in website design.

Thank you for the ideas. I am looking for more "tools" for the toolbox so-to-speak. With regards to CompSci and Business Degree. Thoughts on double major? Or one major, bachelors to masters?

I am not looking for promises, I was merely giving context to my goals with regards to potential ROI. I have a strong work ethic and I am comfortable with the whole process of landing a job. But an established career, is not something I have for the time being. I have 7.5 yrs of experience in Intel but my clearance is not active and there is significant gap since I worked in that field. (Raising kids etc)
