Would a "with business" degree be a good idea?

  Without knowing your situation it is difficult to say since I don't know what you want to get out if it. In general there is no added value to a second bachelors degree. The opportunity cost in terms of time it would take to do another bachelors would be better spent going for a masters degree and taking any pre-requisites required before applying. The only reasons I can think to go back would be if you wanted to do the pre-med courses needed to take the MCAT or if you wanted to go for an engineering degree. Any other program you could take graduate level courses which would be more valuable to your resume and furthering career prospects. As far as personal knowledge goes you can take free online courses or just register as a non matriculated student without enrolling in a formal bachelors. The beauty of finishing the degree is now you can self direct your knowledge pursuits without needing to follow what a degree program mandates.
