A little rusty at this.. some help?

This avoids having to do a second Bachelor's degree in the future. There are more aid options open for someone without a Bachelor's degree.

This is what we're doing for one of mine right now. If you're thinking liberal arts-ish, then of course an AA would be a logical pick. This specific son of mine (who probably will not pursue a bachelor's) is going to earn his associates in business. It's a better fit.

Having my own kids who are not really academically motivated, I always hear other people say things like "well, if they can get their gen eds then they can do anything" or "then do a degree in liberal arts and build on that" I'm sure I might have even said that- but in real life, that's a disaster. Getting through 20 classes that are uninteresting is torture. Getting through 40 is unimaginable. It's the equivalent to me picking a major for you based on my interests and skills lol.

If you post his classes, I'm sure any number of folks can help you cobble together a degree plan. I think one question you should really put on your son is: business or not business (the gen ed and electives differ a bit between the two) and start from there.
