You should really get a four year degree to work in those fields. For both it is required -- unless you want to work as an administrative assistant.
The truth is that an AA doesn't mean much to employers. After all, someone who goes to community college for two years with a C average gets an AA. On the other hand, someone tho leaves Harvard after two years with a 4.0 average is called a college dropout. Who has the better education?

Well, the AA/AS degrees do qualify you for more advanced clerical and administrative positions, including those offered at a university. Most full-time university positions include comprehensive benefits, including free or low-cost tuition.
If you are serious about education and/or health careers (yep, they can be combined), then try to get a position with a university so that they will pay for the next few years of your schooling. Be sure you have official copies of your transcripts, of the course syllabi (in case credit transfer issues arise), and recommendations from faculty and such from your school.
Check the Human Resources departments at schools which interest you, and make sure you understand how to go about applying (some are really bearish, while others are a delight).
But honestly, I don't see much of anything in either field that allows someone with an associates to progress or do very much of interest, much less something related to the fields themselves.
Good luck!

In my opinion, if you phrase it properly on your resume, having a liberal arts AA could qualify you for many jobs in offices or the government. For example, you have probably had a great deal of experience reading books, analyzing them, and documenting your findings. This qualifies you for an entry-level business analysis position (which can be a stepping stone to many other positions). You also have probably taken several math or accounting courses. This could qualify you for bookkeeping or office staff positions, which could also be a stepping stone. It depends on what you want. Look at some online job postings in your area and review the skills they require; I'll be you have many of those skills as a result of your liberal arts degree. Good luck.

Clerical. I hate to tell you this, but an associates in Liberal Arts is even more useless that a BA in one. They don't make the bumper sticker "I majored in Liberal Arts. Would you like fries with that" for a reason.
If you're lucky enough, get a job for a big company that does tuition reimbursement. Then, go back to school for a BA (in something less generic), and work your way up at the company.
