Yes, some real colleges offer associate degrees. It basically means that you've managed to earn half of a Bachelor's degree. As far a the worth of your degree, it would depend on two things: You're major and the college you attended. Computer technology, nursing, and dental hygienist is something worth while and will permit you to earn a decent living. Now if you majored in pharmacy tech, medical assistant, etc., you basically have a glorified certification. There are a lot of for profit colleges popping up all across the country. These schools will pretty much take anyone with good credit and a pulse. They use the Wonderlic as an admissions assessment exam and there sole reason for existence is to make money and not educate the populous. Some of them are actually accredited. They claim to be career focus. Academics are weak and their degrees are not well respected. Once upon a time, before college became a right. There was no such thing as an Associates degree. The Associate degree came about with the invention of the Junior college that gave way to community colleges. Do I think an associate degree is as valuable as a bachelor's degree? No, I don't. Do I think it is a total wast of time? In some instances, yes.

Well, one that comes to mind is an assistant in criminology. I got the idea from watching Gil Grishom on CSI. He can tell time of death and things like that based on the bugs around him. I'm sure there's also myriad research opportunities. With all the millions of types of bugs, there could even be bugs that no one has found before. If there isn't a job you are interested in that is specifically for bugs, maybe you will find a job you like elsewhere that your degree will help anyway. I'm finding the same thing out with my degree: there are limitations on the kinds of things I can do specifically designed for someone with that degree, but I can use the skills I learned in almost any setting. Ask your advisors what the growing careers are for entymologists.

I think there is a lot of pest management, food inspecting, jobs in agriculture, horticulture, forestry. I dont really know any job titles but these would be the fields you could be working in. I have done a research job with an entomology prof, it was lots of fun and very interesting.

I watch a lot of Forensic Files....
When someone is found in the woods or outside etc they use entomology to determine (by the life stage of the inscets found) how long the body has been there....
