33yrs, business-savvy & experienced without degree

Because you're in the EU and not in the US, I would strongly recommend going with a BABA/BBA vs. a BLS. The Business degree won't be significantly more time/money/effort, but will be more relevant to what you want. It's also more likely to be viewed as a viable degree by employers. European employers may not know what to do with a "Liberal Studies" degree and may think it's "fake" or "useless" even if it's not.

I completely agree with this. Skip the BLS and get the true and full business degree. UMPI is a good choice for low cost and quick speed. Do all you can with Sophia and then move onto UMPI for the finish. I'd recommend the M&L; it's known for having straightforward course options, and tending to be quicker to complete than other AOS options.
