I was reading COTC's policy on second degrees and they mention a second associate degree as a possibility if it's in a different field and you earn another 15 credits.
I'm more curious if people have done this than the 'value' factor. I've seen some signatures on here that list multiple associate and bachelor degrees and wonder how many people have stacked up degrees like that.
I think taking classes is fun and doing it with a certain goal in mind gives me motivation for the classes that turn out to be less fun . That said, before I discovered cheap/free options, I would just take free classes on edx and Coursera. So I'm definitely not somebody who would pay full price or even half price for a second associates just because I could get one.
