Associate degree

I'm currently in community college but I'm not sure what to do there. I thought if I get a 2 year degree maybe I'll make decent money but looks like everywhere requires bachelor's degree or higher. I'm not sure what to do. Few people suggest trades like plumbing, electricians, aviation. I'm not interested in physical labor work.

I guess I really don't know what to do. Sorta been looking at people jobs and I'm kinda interested working remotely. Maybe indoor desk job I guess. It's crazy how so many young people are easily making $80-100k and Im struggling to find a path and I don't even have skills for anything.

And is it easy to get a job in the area with the MATC degree after graduation ?

EDIT: Im taking IT- Web software development associate degree as a part time student

I'm pretty sure that my best chance for successfully learning is in a classroom with a teacher. I don't think I would be able to keep up with the pace of a bootcamp, and I don't think I can do this fully on my own. Not trying to be negative, just being honest with myself. This would mean getting student loans which sounds scary to me, but like I said it seems like my best chance. I'm not thrilled with the idea of having to pay for and take unrelated classes, but I guess that's just part of it.

I've been poking around doing self-learning for a few months and I'm starting to understand the basic concepts, but I think I need a proper education. So what do you think? Good idea? Bad idea?

I’m going to take classes for accounting. My school recommended me to take diploma and then after that, to do associate degree. My friend thinks I don’t need to take bachelors degree because it’s pointless and companies will just hire anyone. Do I need to take bachelor’s degree or will I do just fine with associate degree? What’s pros and cons for associate degree in accounting? Will I able to move up and making more money if I gain experience with just associate degree?

I’m asking this question because my sister denied a guy because he doesn’t have a degree. Wondering what other Somali girls think.

I am 19 year old looking to join a culinary school and was wondering if an associate degree is good enough to get into the industry ?

I'm currently trying to break into IT, so I visited my local community college to get a head start. While I know I could do it online, I prefer in-person learning. I tend to have many questions and appreciate getting answers promptly rather than waiting for emails. If you had to choose between three associate's degrees, which one would you pick and why? I understand the decision is ultimately mine, but I value hearing others' opinions. I'm quite eager to learn and will do whatever it takes.

1. Computer and Networking Support Specialist, A.A.S.

2. Cyber Defense and Operations, A.A.S.

3. Network and Cloud Computing, A.A.S.

I’m thinking about going to a community college and getting a system administrator associate degree because they offer a program there but I am just wondering if I would really be able to get a job with it

I am currency in High school and I am planning my future for College. I did some research and found that my local community college offers an associate degree in CS which is designed to help you transfer for a BS; however, I am wondering if I could get the associates degree and then get a decent job, so I won’t be in debt. As of this post I have learned basic Python and made plenty of basic discord bots for fun. Then I decided to learn HTML, CSS, and JS. I have made some basic websites which include: a random color generator, a very basic drawing app, a counter that uses localSotrage, and a currency converter that uses an API. I really like JS and would like to get into web development as a career. I have about a year to make a decision, but I would like to make a decision sooner rather than later.

Are there actually any internships or entry level jobs out there for ppl just with an associates ? I’m hoping to make atleast 50K when I finish my program.

I rather do just do the license but do you guys think it’s worth getting the associate degree?

Im currently a 21 M whose currently enrolled in community college almost done getting a associate degree in engineering. At first I was planning to become a hardware engineer for a bachelors degree, however overtime I learned that maybe this isn’t what I wanted since my passion was to build or assemble gaming pc or computers in general or possibly technological computer accessories or equipment as a job. You can say Im kind of lost at the moment. Where Im trying to decide to stick to getting a associate degree, then I would be able to immediately try to find a job to sustain myself and have money to plan proposal and marriage and getting a home with my gf, but maybe struggle trying look for a job. On the other side of getting bachelors I would have to transfer pay whole lot of money to learn and take classes to get a bachelors degree and possibly take huge loans as my parents cant economically support me, which this the main cause of me not wanting to pursue a bachelors and that I don’t know if passion or the job Im looking for even requires that. But overall Im generally looking for a job that fits my passion and enough money to make myself and gf happy. Any advice on a young adult like me?

Hello ! So I’m graduating in December so I won’t be able to walk until may . I was thinking of ordering a gap and gown and taking pictures in it to have for me and because may 2024 is in a long while .

Is it weird To take pictures for an associate degree? I never knew I was capable of being smart or even doing good in college and I have made the presidents list 4 times. I also put my life on hold kinda over the past two years for this health science degree. Idk :/

Update : I will be taking pictures and celebrating thank you all so much for being very kind and making me realize accomplishments should be celebrated not matter how small . Thank you

Hey guys,

So, I have an Associate degree in Network Systems Management. Currently working in a help desk role for almost a year and looking to move into network/system admin role. No certs at this time, studying for CCNA though. I'm in South Carolina and Charleston Southern has a program to turn my associate degree into a bachelor's in computer science. Here's the question, is getting this bachelor's degree worth 40k to 50k, I currently don't have any debt from the associate degree. My concern is not getting it will hold me back later in the career, like not being considered for senior or management positions for that reason alone. Or would I be better off getting certs and just getting real world experience right now. Mostly interested in Networking, cloud, and security careers.

Thanks,

Wat staat beter op mijn CV? Ik ben 22 en ben op het moment nog bezig met een MBO-4 opleiding, hierna wil ik graag doorstuderen en het onderwijs in, maar ivm mijn leeftijd & geld wil ik de eerste tijd niet aan een 4-jarige opleiding beginnen. Nu heb ik een gevonden, en ook een .

Mijn vraag is dan nu; wat is een betere keuze? Kan ik een verschil in salaris verwachtten? Hoe zit het met het doorstuderen (krijg je met een HBO AD ook vrijstellingen voor HBO bachelors bijv.?) ik studeer naar verwachting in 2024 af, daarom is het nog iets te vroeg voor een oriëntatiegesprek & vroeg ik me af of jullie suggesties/tips hebben!

Alvast bedankt!

I'm looking for any kind of jobs that will hire with associates degrees

ive been working help desk for a bit now , and ive noticed that most of the sys admins at my company only have associate degrees. How useful is only having an associate degree in this career field?

Also experience vs associate degree?

thank you

I'm currently working on my prerequisite for the radiography program but having a conversation with my advisor and having to create a backup plan kind of made me feel hopeless like I am working so hard to get good grades and hoping to get accepted into this radiography program but not really sure what will happen, so I felt like why not create a backup plan and I had a suggestion to look into business administration or finance or tech, honestly I just don't know what to do. I just don't want to waste so many years in college and I am already 27 and I barely have any work experience.

8 years ago, I went to community college straight out of high school. Had little to no interest in school and no idea what I wanted to do in life career-wise. Ultimately, I decided to withdraw with 36 credits left and 'take a year off.'

Well, as you can see, I needed more than a year. Worked retail for years with hectic hours and low pay, so returning to college was the last thing on my mind. In 2019, I found a decent paying job with stable hours. I finally felt the time was right and I had (still have) a lucrative career track in mind, so I said f*ck it. Re-admitted to that former CC in Spring 2021 and crushed it upon return. Finished in 3 semesters with straight As, while working fulltime.

My GPA when I left 8 years ago was a 1.9. Graduated this year with a 3.3! Made the Dean's list twice! This was unheard of for me in the past.

I have been accepted to a 4-year university and am set to start working toward my bachelor's degree this Fall. I hope to be done within the next 2 years!

I hope my little bit of success inspires someone else to go back if they so desire and are able. It's not too late and you are not too old!
