what jobs can you get after finishing an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts with Emphasis on Social Behaviour?

Question

I am really puzzled. I want to get that degree but I have no idea what it will provide for me in a matter of jobs.

Answer 1

Liberal arts associate degrees are usually intended as transfer programs to a bachelor's degree program.

A social science based associates degree would be useful to someone working in law enforcement/corrections, social services, and sales.

It would be moderately useful in human resources and entry level management.

Answer 2

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!

I'm not sure. Since you write behavior with a 'U' you are either in the UK or Canada. I doubt if in the US their is much demand for that degree.
