That probably depends on what you're doing. There are some jobs you couldn't even get without a bachelors.
Let's use accounting as an example. You could probably get a job with a small family owned business easier with the associates and two years experience. But you have a lot more opportunities (and likely much higher pay in the future) with the bachelors.
If you have good grades and you interview well, you can get an accounting job straight out of college with a bachelors for 40-50K. With the associates and two years of experience, you're probably looking at 25-35K.
I'm sure it's the same for most majors/careers.

I agree with the responses above. Bachelors will help you immensely in the long run compared to an Associates degree. If you can get some work experience through internships during your Bachelors, you will be more marketable and already a step ahead of others upon graduation.

An associates degree is equivalent to completing the first two years of a bachelor's degree. If you don't go to a two year school and leave after two years -- you don't get to be called someone with an associates degree -- you get to be called a college dropout.
On average, someone with a BS will make way more money than someone with an associates degree. You might not make much more at age 22 -- but you will be way ahead at age 30.

This is a complicated question. The answer depends on what you want to do. If you're aim is to work in the trades then an Associate's makes the most sense. Especially if this can involve working in a union connected program.
My husband has an MA and makes less than a plumber. So the important thing is to consider what your long term goals are rather than simply to focus on income.

You might make more with a Associates and experience. compared to have a Bachelors with no.
But in the long run....
