It will cost you the $299 graduation fee and if you haven't gotten 12 TESC credits, it will also cost you the enrollment fee. Do you have all the credits needed for the associates already? If not, a quick BA in LS may be a much better and cost effective option, even if you are still 27 credits away.
The associates may help, but I think you can easily put on your resume this below:
Thomas Edison State College (Trenton, NJ)
Dates: XX
Bachelor of Arts in History (in progress)
Completed 93/120
GPA: X.XX
This will allow the ATS and recruiters to skim and see a bachelors degree, and also it shows them that you are pursuing the degree currently and already have an education "equal" to an associates degree.
Use this to apply to degrees that DO NOT currently have a bachelor's as a stipulation. Also, unless its a hard requirement, apply to ones that say bachelor's preferred also because some employers put stringent requirements, but will take someone without all the prereqs if the experience matches.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
