College selections

I am a 33 year old with 17 years of professional experience, but only a HS diploma. Lacking higher eduction has always been a pain point for me and as I grow increasingly unhappy in my current position, I am beginning to find that so many positions are requiring a Bachelors and very few recruiters or hiring managers are valuing the work experience I do have. I strive to want to continue to grow professionally and expand my skill utilization and know that it is not going to happen under my current leadership. I have the support of my spouse to go back to school but I find myself questioning what kind of college is going to get me the attention for the positions I’d like to achieve. I do have two young teens that I’d like to enjoy my last years with before they are off to college themselves so I learn toward online-based schools for the flexibility, but worry it won’t be taken seriously. I am also considering a transfer option to start with a local community college and gaining an Associates of Arts - Business and finishing at a bigger name University with a Bachelors in Business Management. Does anyone have any insight on what recruiters and hiring managers REALLY want to see. Is there a preference, or if I can show I achieved the degree, is that sufficient enough? The majority of my professional career has been spent on the real estate sector in sale operations management and more recently in Property Management as an Operations and Efficiency Manager.
