Check your career, check the area you live at. Talk to people.
Because an AA might not be worth it. It might be useless and a waste of time.
Why would it be a waste of time for OP? He has already made up his mind.
--------------------------------------
I've never gone to a junior college(community college) so i can't really say what truly is the benefits of an AA.
All I know is, where I went to college (state university). AA doesn't exist. And for those who transferred and had them, an AA wasn't worth mentioning.
in some majors, a BA/BS is barely worth mentioning.
1) You state you don't know what the benefits of an AA are.
2) You insert that you went to a four year college. (Kudos to you!)
3) You state that AA doesn't exist at a four year college. Thanks for stating the obvious.
4) People who transferred with an AA degree, it's not worth mentioning? Of course they are't talking about their AA. They've now decided to get a 4 year degree! Now, are you stating that
most of these people will not mention their AA degree or that part of their education on their resume?
5) In some majors, a BA/BS isn't worth mentioning? Again, are you stating that if you are job hunting, you will not put that you have a BA/BS on your resume?
If you are going full time and the degree can benefit you. I recommend aiming higher. Unless you work at say fast food or something really crappy.
There really is no need to ditch your job, go full time, and only get a degree that doesn't do much. Don't put in all that effort and only plan on getting the lowest degree available.
I'm not saying to aim for a PHD or whatever, but aim for atleast a BA/BS.
Didn't you
just say that in some majors, it's not worth mentioning you have a BA/BS?
Why should he be "aiming" for higher then? After all, there's no need to ditch your job, go full time, and only get a degree that doesn't do much.
Lowest degree possible? Your word choice says it all. You do not think highly of AA degrees despite you admitting that you don't know what the true benefits of an AA are. Aim for at
least a BA/BS? What's so great about a BA/BS? Later on you go on to say that even a BA/BS is not enough for some majors! (Refer to your social work expository.)
You probably are too tunnel visioned to see this, but you constantly contradict yourself. It's pretty clear you have no clue what you are talking about, which is why you must write long winded responses to simple questions. i.e. Which degrees are considered not mentioning? (I don't needed an expository.)
I'll end it here, simply because it's clear you're some newly graduated kid who thinks that now that they've graduated with a 4 year degree that others should follow suit. A four year college degree is not for all. OP has already stated his mind is made, his wife will pay for the bills while he is in school. He has thought things through and had he truly wanted to attend a four year university, he would. OP didn't ask whether he should get an AA or a BA/BS. (You inserted your opinion telling him to get at
least a BA/BS.)
