If I could go back and do it again I probably would've gotten the degree and been okay with not getting to the regionals a couple years later.
You have your age as an advantage. Lots of online universities out there will give you a good amount of credit for your experience and ratings earned. If you put your nose to the grindstone, you can knock out a bachelor's in as little as 2-3 years, if not less.
