My advice is take some Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) courses and you may be able to apply to some architecture firms drafting. You can then uses the AA to go back to school later (at the firms expense) and get your BA in Architecture.
AA in Arts is a nice stepping stone for a career in Architecture.

There are many careers that one can attain with an AA. If one cannot afford a Bachelors. Once one is working in the field of their choice with the AA, then the employer can help pay for a bachelors after 1 year of employment.. Don't get discouraged. I had a AS in Respiratory Therapy which supported me for 20 years, then I got my AA in nursing and am now working as a nurse, now my employer is paying for me to get my Bachelors 2 classes and my capstone away. Then I am thinking of my masters which my employer will also pay for. At 43 I am still learning and growing!

An associates degree should be thought of as a stepping stone to getting a Bachelor's degree.
It is not something that impresses most employers. If it were, then universities would give an AA to anyone who leaves college after two years. If you get straight Cs at a CC and leave after two years -- you get an Associates Degree. If you get straight A at Harvard and leave after two years -- you don[t get a degree -- instead they call you a college drop-out. Which is more impressive?
There are only two reasons why someone should get an associates degree. The first is if they can't afford to go to a four year college -- so they go to a CC for two years and then transfer. The second is if they are not prepared for a four year college -- so they get an AA to make themselves ready for a four year degree.
Otherwise, most employers will not be impressed with someone who does not go on any more than they would be with a college dropout.

This is just a general 2 yr degree. it won't give you training to work in any specific field or job area.
I would suggest a 4 yr degree eventually - an AA is usually a stepping stone towards a 4 yr degree because the AA doesn't really do much to open up job opportunities... sorry

I recommend a four year degree simply because if someone with a four year degree applies for the same position you do with a two year one, more than likely they'll beat you out of it. Just like how a person with more real work experience and internships with a four year degree will beat out someone with only the degree. This isn't always the case, but I say it happens a lot more often than not

Maybe you can do design work for communications agencies (designing brochures and ads and such).
