The numbers seem right. Remember to factor in the realtor's commission, taxes, title transfer fees, etc.

Seems like career options might not be abundant, and they're likely to want advanced degrees, so include that in your planning.

Here are a couple of links from AAS that might help.

I recommend seeing if they'll let you test out of some requirements based on your work experience. That will save you some tuition money and time. Don't forget to transfer any credits from other classes you've taken. Also, if you have a 4-year degree already in another field (or are close to one), you may want to talk to a grad school program directly. You may be able to skip undergrad entirely and get into an MS or Ph. D program.
