I 10000% agree!! There is zero point to it. Do not get extra general associates if they cost you a ton of extra time and money.

However, if there is absolutely zero effort involved and it is simple. I'm of the philosophy why not?

Like at TESU if you get a BA you will have an AA done. If someone does a BSBA then will automatically have an ASBA done as well. The BA comp sci will have the ASNSM comp sci done as well. I know those are completely pointless degrees, that would never be listed on a resume or CV. But if I were a TESU student I'd get an AA with my BA, the ASBA with my BSBA or the ASNSM with my BA Comp Sci. I know full well these choices serves no purpose at all, but I find enjoyment in collecting as many degrees as possible. Maybe I'm weird, but I suspect others on this forum feel the same way I do.

I have a handful of associate's degrees and I would never list any of them on a resume since I got my bachelor's because they are all general degrees. One of them was more a reverse transfer and the pointless thing ever and basically identical to another associate's I had. But when I found all it was going to cost me $20 to send my transcripts, five minutes to fill out a form and a two-minute phone call; for a full associate's degree, I decided why not. No classes, money or extra work needed. Some people might think I'm weird but I just like to think of it as being resourceful.

When I went to CC the number of people I met that had over 75 credits at graduation blew my mind. (at my CC you only need 15 credits for a second degree). I told multiple people that all they had to do was fill out a form and they could graduate with a second associate's (like AGS or general AA) for no extra work or money. They all told me they didn't care or that filling out the single-page form was too much work. To each his own I guess. 

Some people collect baseball cards, I collect college degrees.
 According to my evaluation from TESU, I only need SOS-110

I have everything else showing completed. Should I go for it? I need SOS-110 for my BA anyways. So I guess its Just costing me an extra Frame to hang..lol

It's just me, if there is no additional work involved for the AA or AS at COSC beyond that of the Bachelors, I think having a secondary AA or AS (if there is a concentration) would be beneficial to just having the BOG AAS.  I highly think that the Bachelors will have sufficient surplus of credits to be used for the second AA/AS anyways, and if there is no extra cost, energy, time involved, I would do it...

So should I get the AA from TESU while I work on my BA there as well? Or get the BOG AAS? in TESU, I only need SOS-110 to complete the AA.
