"Easy" is subjective, you really want to find out which teacher is most laid back. It's been a couple days, but if you have time research the professors. Rate your professor used to be a big thing and it's helped me before, but it's been a while now since I've used it, talking a few years.

For psychology, look at the school’s overall resources for the program. Do they have internships? Job placement? Relationships with near by businesses? These are helpful in obtaining real world experience. Unfortunately, psychology is something you really need a PHD to make “decent” money and that’s an investment.

For this particular major, I’d advise to figure out which career path your daughter wants and THEN figure out the right school(s).

Generally, an IT or Information Systems type of degree will put you down the track that people who go for certs is on. By the end you should probably have the knowledge for A+, Net+, possibly Sec+ and possibly CISSP or CISSA (I can't recall exactly which, I don't go for certs). If you look at job postings that require those certs and like what you see, that path is fine for you. But if you're looking to do software engineering you're better off with a Computer Science degree.

I think most people going back are because they're trying to make a career change and may or may not have had a degree already. You don't need a degree in that field, but it'll help. You need to be certain of the requirements of the program you apply to though. Don't take my word as gospel and then get caught out when you start applying.

Do you think I should take out loans for my masters or try to find a company to pay for it?

If you can get in at a company that has education benefits available then go for it, but don't hang your hat on it. If you want that degree go get it.
