Value of an Associate degree.

[Lacedonia4]

If you want an Associate's Degree and it makes you happy or proud, you should do it. Everyone here is talking about money and how OTHER PEOPLE will look at it. If it's something YOU want, you should do it. Sometimes money or future functionality isn't the #1 thing.

I'm the first person in my family to even get past 8th grade. I'm damn proud of my AA. Getting that little piece of paper made it possible for me to move to another country and get a visa. I've lived abroad for over 6 years now and visited 13 countries.

If you want it, do it for YOU.

Thanks, part of me needed to hear this. As an immigrant too, it is a different mindset. And as an adult student there is even more fear of not having the time to complete the big degree.
