The Real "Big 4" is Here!

Agreed. The only associates that are worthwhile are specific career focused associates like nursing, IT or trades.

I would partially agree. I think of them more like having a minor.  For example if I was hiring a new person for my marketing team and I had two candidates with BAs.  If one also had an AAS in English it would put them ahead for sure.   I would probably consider it better than most (not all) certificate programs.

Since AAS stands for Associate in Applied Science, I'm thinking an AAS in English doesn't exist.  But I could certainly be wrong.

I don't think of an AA/AS as a concentration or minor, since a lot of times, there are very few courses required for it that would make it strong enough to think of it as a concentration.
