Sometimes, the Associates Degree will allow you to get into your field much faster, therefore, earning more money than those who are struggling and accumulating student loans.
Of course it all depends on the type of job. |

I would have to agree with your statement. The relevance of a 2-year degree is very industry oriented.
Construction - no gain Hotel Industry - added gain, experience more relevant Fortune 500 Company - dead-end job I work for a finance company. My supervisor doesn't have a Bachelor's, only his AA. But he's working towards his BA. Another supervisor is in the same situation. There are top level people who only have a high school diploma. It is not what one would expect out of a national finance company, right? So, in line with industry, the job situation, such as interoffice relationships and the company's outlook on weighing experience more important than a degree, it specifically influences the impact of having or not having an AA. |

The degree is your foundation. With that you get a better pay than those who do not have it.

it all depends on your careerfield.
if you are in IT, it's about what you can prove you are capable of doing. If you are sales, it's pretty much worthless. you just need to sell. if you are in the corporate world, still not much because others will have a bachelor's degree. If you want to get into a better college, it's very important. most of the time, jobs that require an a.a. will cap at $15-$20/hr. |
