From a degreed HR persons point of view, an associates is barely worth the paper it is printed on.
You would be better off earning the credit hours but transfering to a 4 year school and listing the 4 year school with "pursuing Bachelors" even if you take 20 years.

Honestly, yes you can. Getting a decent career doesn't really mean you have to have a degree at all. It really depends on what you put into it and how hard you work at being successful. However, obtaining a bachelors or masters degree does show employers that you had rigourous courses that correspond with your degree. So it really depends on what you put into having a "decent" career and what road you want to take. After all, Michael Dell (Dell Computers) never got his bachelors and his a millionaire.

Depends on what you call decent, and what your degree is in. And associates in, say, hospitality and you could probably work at a hotel. An associates in pyschology, I think the only thing you could do with it is say you have it.

I guess it depends on where you are. However, my experience is NO. In this day and age even a college degree can't guarantee much. If you are looking for a great career with good pay you should probably go to college and beyond.

Yea maybe like 15-20 years ago. No one can make a DECENT living with only an Accociates degree.

Better than high school diploma, less than bachelor's degree. After you land the job, your skills and intellect come more into play than what courses you took.

Any degree, or no degree is enough if you turn your knowledge into owning your own business. I bet you can!

All depends on the field. If it's in science? Not if you want to do research - that's about all I can tell you.
