lots of OOS students paying less than me to attend in-state University ($280 EFC)

Utah State only requires you to live there one year for residency. They also offer an online degree. Instate tuition $11,700. There are tech jobs in Utah.

I think you should try for Masters of Computer Science rather than a second BA. (You have the math, GPA and GRE score for it. If you need C++ or python take an online class).
