I do want to earn the degree. Not fast track my way through or anything. Im 33. I skipped higher education for CS, MS, Networking certs. The general ed courses are my only stopping block. And widdling that down more it really is math.
I won't commit until I put my money where my mouth is most of the time. I've learned that from burning myself out with certs.
It sounds like you're from the US. Some of the international universities might have paths that don't require strict maths... maybe a logic course? Not sure.
Anyway, part time education doesn't fast track, it's usually the opposite. Check out some courses to see if they might offer you a path that's more suitable.
For example, this course from London Met doesn't have any maths requirements :

However, part time/remote options aren't very clear on that website.
You can do this course remotely with the Open university , but it has maths requirements

most important is that you enjoy it. Not having the degree didn't stop you achieving before, so it should be for self fulfilment. I also don't have a degree per se (more a diploma/dropout) but it's fun to look into this stuff and play pretend with a stranger's life from time to time.
Best of luck with everything, dear stranger.
