I'm hoping to own my own business or at least run one.

That degree isn't worth anything in the corporate world. You need at least a BA.
But, to own your own business it is OK, as you hire yourself.
No one will hire you to manage with that degree (meaningless), unless you have a ton of experience to bring to the table.

For running your own business, there aren't academic requirements. The things that count are, among others, knowledge, enthusiasm, organizational ability, persistance, good ideas, and good judgement.
Working for someone else, an associates in business mgmt degree would probably qualify you for an administrative assistant job, and you could maybe work your way up from there.
Good luck.

It depends on what job you're going for. You need experience more than anything. A degree can put you ahead of other candidates for a job but they look at the total package (and with an associates, they aren't going to really notice that on your resume). I suggest working toward a bachelors then your MBA. With an associates and little business experience, you're probably going to have to start at the bottom and get experience (and I mean A LOT of experience) before you're going to be running anything.

It is a good start, but I think it would be worthwhile to go back and get the bachelors. Employers these days are looking for that degree, well at least the employers that are going to give you the experience needed to own your own and run your own business successfully.

Well if you are somebody's relative, or chum around with the "right" people and they like you (carpet baggers excluded), or if you have job placement at your college, or if you are willing to bust your butt in either your own business (if you have money and ideas, are a minority that the government will give money too)...or bust your butt for somebody else cleaning toilets and working your way up in their company, you may do alright with it. Otherwise, learn a trade.

Most employers care about degree's, but the way you handle things and keep everything running smoothly matters alot. The degree may get you an interview, but your performance decides you success.

Not much more than a High School diploma.
