(USAF) Other than instructor duty and cross-training (I think), what's CCAF for?

[OfficerA]

Good afternoon all,

So I finally got my degree (technically got it back in December, but only physically held it since yesterday), and while I've been told how great it is that I've knocked it out early and all I honestly don't see what's so great about it.

I've always looked at the CCAF degree as more of a stepping stone; I'm not even sure how I went about completing it, all I know is that I went to school/CLEP/DSST, and in time all the pieces fell into place and I had it. All this time though I've been aiming for my bachelor's more.

So what opportunities can I get out of this? I've been told instructor duty is easier now, since having it done eventually is a prerequisite, and I believe it has something to do with cross-training as well. Is there more to it that I'm missing?
