If I do go this route, I only need a Technician's license. A couple days ago on a whim I took three online Technician practice tests to see what they were like. I barely passed once and barely failed twice. That was with absolutely no information (what is a QSR for example?). I am confident that I could easily pass the Technicians test by reading through the ARRL License manual.
When I took my Tech they "strongly" encouraged me to sit for the general that evening. I declined because I hadn't even taken a peek at the material.

I "assume" it's close enough that if you did fairly well on the tech you could also pass the general.
