Did accelerated associates at a trade school for energy technology (associate in applied science). It was 1.25 years long and 25k in tuition, but I earned 80k a year right away after graduation. Covid didn't affect my employment at all. I can get a job at anything power related. I am happy with my education so far

I have my Assosciate's as a Physical Therapist Assistant making $70k one year out of school at a rural hospital. Definitely not average for the field, but I could not ask for a better career/financial situation.

[GABRIEL-xkwb]

Nurse is the best associate's degree. A friend of mine is making $100/hr and works 60+hrs a week for a travel nurse agency. Also nurses can always upgrade their educational degree while working. These degrees are BS in nursing, MS in nursing and even Nurse anesthetist. Nurse anesthetist make 150k+++

I got an associates in computer programming. I ended up getting a bachelors and masters but man that associates really helped me out in the long run. I know a ton of people who have cush state or government jobs with associate degrees, nice benefits, and an actual pension.

I have an associates degree in computer engineering. It didn't take long for me to find a job. Before I even graduated, I got an internship with IBM, and they were telling me how they don't really care that much what your degree is; what they care about more is your experiences.
Most (but not all) high-paying businesses want someone who has actually got their hands dirty. A degree shows a level of commitment and it tells employers that you have decent knowledge of the field, but it doesn't say anything about you've accomplished or done in your field.

Do 2 years of community college for the associates and transfer to a university for a bachelors

My dad has an associates in nursing, and he makes 6 figures working for the state of Washington.

I have a job in HR at the state level and I'm going to go back to school to get my associates in HR in January. My supervisor recommended it for promotion opportunities and we have tuition reimbursement. I'm excited!

It's nice to see my 3 associate degrees aren't in vain. I know, I know 3. It took 4 years and approximately $24K in tuition, but I feel I am more well-diversified. I have a liberal art degree for exactly the soft skills. My business degree taught me the basic language of business, soft skills, and some problem solving. Lastly, I received an electronics degree because I am a nerd. I love electronics.

They are tiered exactly like my initials DAS. In the order they were received.

My ultimate goal is to run an electronics/computer business (or be part of one). I have experiences in the office as well as electronics assembly (soldering). So, it's not like I don't know what to do with them... it's just going to take longer to implement my plans. I am gunning for a job as a slot technician, but currently in a factory setting getting mechanical skills with hand tools.

See where my journey takes me, I guess.

Thank you for the video! It relieved a lot of my stress. I thought I was just an "overeducated" unemployable person.

Got my associates in business a year ago currently getting my BBA is accounting glad to see my education choices have been good so far

[skets]

Got my associate for Occupational Therapy Assistant and I’m expected to make around $28-$34 per hour in CA. Not too shabby. Just be aware that it’s a specialized field and transitioning to other fields is not as smooth you think it will be if you compared it to nursing degrees.

[analynroiz]

This is an excellent video to post after your video on how and why American 4-year colleges are so expensive. Thank you, as always, for enlightening us!❤️

[CDX]

I have an associates in computer network systems and made over 400k last year. And yes you read that correctly. I do cybersecurity consulting. Most of us have limited formal education, and instead are self taught with certifications to prove it.

[rohseans]

Nursing is hands down the best degree at the associate level.

[jazzyj]

Basically, going to community college is a great choice.

I did this too. I’m a paralegal. 😇

That sounds like a good plan to save money. Unfortunately a lot of people won’t do that because it normally takes 2 1/2 or 3 years . You would have to take 5 or 6 classes a semester to graduate on time. Maybe you might take summer or winter classes to graduate on time. Community colleges don’t offer the same programs. A lot of kids end up doing undergrad in five years not four years because they went to community college and graduated. Thanks, Shane for sharing your amazing information . I was just sharing what I know from others who went to community college. You could go to any college whatever works best for you.
