well an associates degree isn't all that good, look into going for the full BS
as for the job, just go to every large company and apply for a job, you might not start with the kind of job you like but always keep looking, good luck

Unfortunately, the majority of companies out there nowadays will require a person to have a full 4-yr. Bachelor's degree, at the very least. An Associate's in Science is just another way of saying to these companies that you can only do menial tasks that're similar to what a person with no degree can do, AND they can pay those non-degreed less than an Associate's worker. So, these companies will rather hire those with no degrees instead. Unfortunately also, an Associate's degree is viewed as something in the middle, and in the job market, this is just not good enough to cut it. So, if you want a serious job in a corporate setting, say, please consider going back to school and try to get your full Bachelor's degree. Best of luck to you. (i know exactly how you feel, trust me).

I am having the same trouble. I also have an associate degree in business and have been graduated for a year now and haven't found a job in my field. So I just got a job in a bank so that maybe that will help me out. Is there a bank or somewhere that you could try for a job?

Associate of science in business, does that mean you took general business classes? Accounting, marketing, business law, economics? You should be able to be helpful in a lot of fields, just start in an entry level spot and you should gain experience and be able to get promoted. (Other people who don't have your degree could get the entry level job but wouldn't be promoted.)
How you present yourself may be having some effect on your applications. Get in the habit of spelling correctly just as you would dress nicely for a job interview.

I been a graphic artist/technical illustrator for 17 years working for some major companies. I now drive a garbage truck. I'm glad I have no debts. Just rent, and utilities and food.

you can try nytimesjobmarket.com or careerbuilder.com and if you still don't find anything, try going to a job recruiter for more help. Also i do believe that the school you graduated from is supposed to help you find a job check out career services there.

Sometimes, you can stand out in a field all day looking for something, and never spot it.
If you're smart, you go look in another field. Sometimes, you'll find exactly what you were looking for.
Good luck! - Stuart

In today's competitive environment, you may want to go back and a get a Bachelor's. It will give you the edge you are seeking.
