AS in Math, opinions please

I disagree.

AA and AS degrees tend to be useless.

AAS degrees produce real skills and jobs. In some cases way better than most BS degrees.

Because nearly all associates degrees are worthless for career and employment purposes. It's a waste of time and money. It's nothing more than a glorified high school diploma. Very few jobs will give you a better chance of becoming employed because of an associates (eg. nursing). An ASNSM is not one of the few exceptions. You will be competing against folks who have BA degrees while you are lumped in with the high school grads and probably destined for the reject pile. On top of that, you don't need a degree if you just want to take a few courses in math for personal enrichment.

And if you delay graduation, TESU may put in new requirements or fees that are unavoidable once announced. TESU has been somewhat generous with regards to avoidable changes, but it's a risk for a lousy reason (AS degree).
