I’m planning on starting another bachelors next fall.
I majored in accounting in ‘12 then went officer in the Marines for 11 years.
MBA seemed meh. Planning on doing IT. Any advice (on anything)?
My goal is to pocket GI bill money as long as possible, and then land a decent remote job. Income isn’t a huge concern…not nearly as much as enjoyment or lack of disdain is.

Seems like you have conflicting goals. Unless that other bachelors degree is from somewhere like Stanford it is counter productive to any IT career. Extended time in the academic world is actually a pretty major negative in the technology world because people that spend a lot of time in school with their nose in books reading about how things are supposed to work become pompous twats that don't know anything about how things actually work or how to function in a professional team environment. If you want a career in IT, focus on actually learning how to figure out how to do things, because if things worked like the book says we would have already automated it to do that.

We have a similar background lol.
Got an accounting degree and did public for a bit, but then enlisted.
Got out after 1 navy contract - should have commissioned but oh well.
Now a CPA and doing WGU cybersecurity online with the gi bill. Get a small amount of cash for MHA (~900/month) since it's online and it comes with like 14 IT certs...A+, SEC+, Network+, etc...
Currently studying for A+
I have no experience in IT so it's relatively new to me. But can't see myself as a practicing CPA forever.
