I have my Assosciate's as a Physical Therapist Assistant making $70k one year out of school at a rural hospital. Definitely not average for the field, but I could not ask for a better career/financial situation.
Did you need to go to a physical therapy school ? Or do u just need community college and major in physical therapy? Because I’m thinking of getting my asssociates in physical therapy and get an entry job right away I don’t want the extra schooling 🥲
I have an associates degree in computer engineering. It didn't take long for me to find a job. Before I even graduated, I got an internship with IBM, and they were telling me how they don't really care that much what your degree is; what they care about more is your experiences. Most (but not all) high-paying businesses want someone who has actually got their hands dirty. A degree shows a level of commitment and it tells employers that you have decent knowledge of the field, but it doesn't say anything about you've accomplished or done in your field.

They are there to serve students and educate. You should definitely go to a good one and give it the college try. The Community Colleges can be challenging, but generally easier because they serve a much larger demographics than traditional universities. Though once you go further, it will be different.

Now if you've been exposed to the major already, or are gifted- it could be a walk in the park, or slightly less challenging. If you go to a lower tier school, like a mid level to lower state school or a school that doesn't do research, or even a very small private liberal arts school with a hella small student body- its going to be easier. Though what usually happens is either its not as rigorous, or the price of the education goes way up (for private). With your benefits I say just apply to good school, and give it the good ol college try! You never know what could happen! If you fail well you can always change your major and continue. At the UC's a D- is passing. lol. just remember that.
That's what I did in 1989. I was unlucky in applying for university so I started my Associates at night as I had a full time job. I would have 8 credits of the 24 subjects after completion. A University offered me enrollment mid way, so I competed my Associates as I started University.

This is an excellent video to post after your video on how and why American 4-year colleges are so expensive. Thank you, as always, for enlightening us!❤️
It's nice to see my 3 associate degrees aren't in vain. I know, I know 3. It took 4 years and approximately $24K in tuition, but I feel I am more well-diversified. I have a liberal art degree for exactly the soft skills. My business degree taught me the basic language of business, soft skills, and some problem solving. Lastly, I received an electronics degree because I am a nerd. I love electronics. They are tiered exactly like my initials DAS. In the order they were received. My ultimate goal is to run an electronics/computer business (or be part of one). I have experiences in the office as well as electronics assembly (soldering). So, it's not like I don't know what to do with them... it's just going to take longer to implement my plans. I am gunning for a job as a slot technician, but currently in a factory setting getting mechanical skills with hand tools. See where my journey takes me, I guess. Thank you for the video! It relieved a lot of my stress. I thought I was just an "overeducated" unemployable person.
@@vikingredsonja if I pursue two years diploma will those credits get transfer when I will pursue my bachelor's after getting PR( permanent residency) pls reply it'll be so helpful
@@ramanjot952 depends on what field you go into, but associate degrees are literally just cheap ways of getting your 60 credits out of 120. I paid about $400 per class at a community college that offered an AA in business that was transferable to a university. Really just look into community colleges to get the 60 credits out of the way and super cheap. Also talk to an academic advisor and make sure where ever you go is accredit and transferable!!!!! Do some research and look on reddit to make sure its a good school.
That sounds like a good plan to save money. Unfortunately a lot of people won’t do that because it normally takes 2 1/2 or 3 years . You would have to take 5 or 6 classes a semester to graduate on time. Maybe you might take summer or winter classes to graduate on time. Community colleges don’t offer the same programs. A lot of kids end up doing undergrad in five years not four years because they went to community college and graduated. Thanks, Shane for sharing your amazing information . I was just sharing what I know from others who went to community college. You could go to any college whatever works best for you.
I think they've done a study recently and most people actually graduate with their bachleors in 6+ years or Maybe that was just for computer science. I don't remember that's what I'm studying and I know for sure they take longer than normal.
As someone with an associate degree in Automation ( I&C) be prepared to job hunt. Few years ago companies might of been more willing to take a fresh grad at entry level and get you trained. But atm its rough. Took me almost 2 months out of school even with 6 years of production in an industrial setting. You really only learn the basics of everything. Electrical, robotics, motor controls, ect. You technically can't really work on electrical components right out of the gate. You will have to continue learning a lot on the job and start from the bottom. The good news is with this degree you will start off in the $20+ hr. If you impress the company with good pre employment test scores (yes you will be tested before employment) even $30hr isnt unheard of.

@@gotribe8333 It wasn’t on the list because many employers don’t care for a degree and employability plus salary isn’t as good as the ones on the list.
My associate falls under engineering and it’s a crapshoot of getting into a job. Out in the gulf, everyone has experience a degree or both in engineering for refineries and chemical plants. If you can beat the thousands of other similarly qualified applicants, you can make over 6 figures with some overtime but all my friends that are in the field have aged hard and hate it but are too accustomed to the money. I switched over to tech and now make the same sitting in the AC for 40 hours. Tech degrees (with certs) definitely S+ tier.

13:17 *Please do not belittle the complicated practice of "coding" as you say.* I'm a programmer for a bank. I can tell you right now you have to have a Bachelors degree or higher if you want any chance at being a programmer and making 70k a year. I have to program in p1 programming language and occasionally do database work in SQL. Most likely you will have to program in more than 1 language or risk losing out to another candidate. Unless you have 5+ years of professional coding experience from a reputable company, employers don't want someone with an associates or who got a certificate from some kind of coding boot camp. There is much more to programming than simply knowing how to print "hello world", open files, draw shapes, etc. in JAVA or C++. *You also have to be really good at math, know data structures and algorithms, analyze and design systems, etc.* You have to code efficiently. Your code can't take a week to finish running. You have to be able to refactor inefficient code when needed. Some programmers neglect writing scalable code and employers might need to hire someone who can write scalable code. Saying you can be a programmer with just an associates degree is like saying you can be a surgeon with an associates degree. It is possible *but would you want a surgeon with only an associates degree performing surgery on you?*
Jim C I mean due,I also said you have to have some type of internship under your belt also and the person with the computer science is a lot more flexible because he has knowledge in other areas.He also has a better understanding.Trust me someone with a degree fresh out of college with internships has a better shot than someone who went to boot camp.It’s all about who you would place your bet on
i have an associates degree in physics, its only good for saying you have a "degree in physics" to impress people not much applicability to any job that ive seen

That being said, he's right mostly, i would never get a 2 year degree, it would have to be in flute performance and that would be a waste of time, it does not make you more qualified to do a certain job and your better of getting a 4 year degree in music education. But him saying find a place where you can be surrounded by people and put in a lot of hardwork, that's not exactly always gonna work for you. I can put in hours a day every day of the week and look at TH-cam videos etc and not pay a single dime and a 13yo whos been playing since he was 5 taking private lessons would absolutely be better than me. Going to college helps with people that want to improve drastically and do it as something they love. But don't get a 2 year degree for it 😭
Getting my aa in liberal arts- I want to get a bachelor's in social work but unfortunately there aren't any schools that offer it nearby so I'm giving myself that time to decide if it's what I really want before I commit to moving away

You should be the Jack of all trades and be the best all-round worker. That way, everyone could hire you and you could work your way to independent living.
You got the earning potential all wrong on that instrumentation degree. 75k + overtime to start is a reasonable expectation. Average in Texas is quickly approaching 100k base plus OT. OT dependant on what facility your at from 0-500+ hours.
I just graduated with my associates degree (associate of applied science) in Accounting. I currently work as an accounting assistant; don’t get me wrong the organization I work for is amazing and the people are awesome but the job it self is extremely tedious and monotonous (data entry, spreadsheets, etc.). I don’t know if I’ll be able to do this for the next 20 years without being miserable.. I know if I go back and get my bachelors I could easily transition into HR/Recruiting which I think suits my personality better anyways (INFJ-T personality type). What other opportunities are out there for me with my current credentials? I also have five years of customer service and office/clerical experience.
I think one thing we need to be especially wary of in these degrees is that many will force you to compete against bachelor degree holders for the same jobs. All the science degrees(with all the technician jobs), mathematics, and even some business ones will pit you against higher degrees that can only be beaten with experience on your resume.
there's plenty of jobs available for psychology degrees though most are at the ba level but the associate level can get you in the door which many psych organizations will allow you to work for them and pay for you to advance to the next level. Though because a psychology is so popular the field is saturated and very competitive so that would make it difficult to even find a job after you get the degree

You'd be competing with a lot of people with newly-minted bachelor's degrees in psychology. An AA in psychology is a good place to start before you enroll in a BA program, especially if your community college has an articulation agreement with universities. To get a counseling job, though, you're going to need a master's.
There are lots of opportunities with a Teaching AA to work in preschools, Montessori or daycares. You need a Bachelors and a teaching credential for K-12 though. Putting the teaching degree in ‘D’ tier is a bad call in my opinion.
This video is completely wrong about biology degrees. Every lab requires at least a bachelors degree. Even if you manage to find a job, it wont pay enough to return on your investment.

I am currently in the middle of my two years at a community college. I don't know whether to continue my associates of arts or transfer over to a associates of science. The biggest problem is that I don't know what I want to do with my life. I might join the military through the National Guard and then continue my school during or go special forces for while in the guard then retire after 5 years of something. Or if I don't join the military I will just go to a four year and start a small business. I have no clue what I actually want to do though. Any suggestions from people who have more experience in life and schooling?
Dude, you seriously need to cut back on the 'air quotes.' I think you may be an ADDICT. And some of the thing's you're using them on don't even require air quotes. Plus, when you do use air quotes, you're literally putting the words up on the screen already so that's kind of doing the same thing.
Would an associates degree in computer information systems aka Management information systems, be enough to land a decent job? Or should I get my bachelors? I honestly don’t mind making $22-$25 and hour starting, I’d rather start making money fast because I want to invest in real estate
Hey Shane My name is Charles I got a question, what A.S. degree would be decent for a middle age man with very little computer skills. I was thinking about office administration but having second thoughts
What would be the recommended jobs for someone with a computer science degree who liked the math more than the programming? Coding felt like pulling teeth. But I don't have the funding to go back and get a bachelors in anything. So I have my associates on computer science.
@@yasmin90s Dude anything academic is a no no, unless you’re going to med school or any other doctorate program requiring a science background. If you have no interest in a Doctorate program just like this guy said, go into nursing the pay is great and you probably already have most of the requirements. Another option is Physician Assistant if you’re not planning to go to med school, phd, etc. It all depends on what you want to do, I’m telling you from experience so that you don’t end up working as a tech making 30k a year and then transitioning to other field and asking yourself why you did biology.
I just started at my local C.C, I am 27 years old. I want to transfer and get a Bachelors in Management Information System.

Any advice? Should I switch my associates to something more technical or just stay on the path paved out for me and hope for the best?

This is an excellent video to post after your video on how and why American 4-year colleges are so expensive. Thank you, as always, for enlightening us!❤️
It's nice to see my 3 associate degrees aren't in vain. I know, I know 3. It took 4 years and approximately $24K in tuition, but I feel I am more well-diversified. I have a liberal art degree for exactly the soft skills. My business degree taught me the basic language of business, soft skills, and some problem solving. Lastly, I received an electronics degree because I am a nerd. I love electronics.
They are tiered exactly like my initials DAS. In the order they were received.
My ultimate goal is to run an electronics/computer business (or be part of one). I have experiences in the office as well as electronics assembly (soldering). So, it's not like I don't know what to do with them... it's just going to take longer to implement my plans. I am gunning for a job as a slot technician, but currently in a factory setting getting mechanical skills with hand tools.
See where my journey takes me, I guess.
Thank you for the video! It relieved a lot of my stress. I thought I was just an "overeducated" unemployable person.
Got my associates in business a year ago currently getting my BBA is accounting glad to see my education choices have been good so far
So now will u have to spend only 2 years to complete your bachelors?
@@ramanjot952 Currently I have 78 credits out of 120, so I will be done within 3 semesters
@@vikingredsonja thanks for replying, one more question I am planning to come Ontario and associate degrees aren't offered there so what should I do
@@vikingredsonja if I pursue two years diploma will those credits get transfer when I will pursue my bachelor's after getting PR( permanent residency) pls reply it'll be so helpful
@@ramanjot952 depends on what field you go into, but associate degrees are literally just cheap ways of getting your 60 credits out of 120. I paid about $400 per class at a community college that offered an AA in business that was transferable to a university. Really just look into community colleges to get the 60 credits out of the way and super cheap. Also talk to an academic advisor and make sure where ever you go is accredit and transferable!!!!! Do some research and look on reddit to make sure its a good school.
That sounds like a good plan to save money. Unfortunately a lot of people won’t do that because it normally takes 2 1/2 or 3 years . You would have to take 5 or 6 classes a semester to graduate on time. Maybe you might take summer or winter classes to graduate on time. Community colleges don’t offer the same programs. A lot of kids end up doing undergrad in five years not four years because they went to community college and graduated. Thanks, Shane for sharing your amazing information . I was just sharing what I know from others who went to community college. You could go to any college whatever works best for you.
omfg agreed. community college is way harder to get out of than people realize...it's really best to just go to university if you can.
I think they've done a study recently and most people actually graduate with their bachleors in 6+ years or Maybe that was just for computer science. I don't remember that's what I'm studying and I know for sure they take longer than normal.
Our CEO of our rural community hospital has an Associates Degree RN and he is making $200,000/year, plus another $12,000 in contributions to his 401K.
I wish I could do nursing but I don’t want to take the vaccine :/
As someone with an associate degree in Automation ( I&C) be prepared to job hunt. Few years ago companies might of been more willing to take a fresh grad at entry level and get you trained. But atm its rough. Took me almost 2 months out of school even with 6 years of production in an industrial setting. You really only learn the basics of everything. Electrical, robotics, motor controls, ect. You technically can't really work on electrical components right out of the gate. You will have to continue learning a lot on the job and start from the bottom. The good news is with this degree you will start off in the $20+ hr. If you impress the company with good pre employment test scores (yes you will be tested before employment) even $30hr isnt unheard of.
You need to move and work in Oil and gas.
Since you give me so much info and help me pick my career im watching your ads without skipping!! LOVE YA ‼️❤️❤️
I’m currently going for an associates in Engineering Thanks for the new video Shane!
Do you want to make a bachelor after that?
Nursing is hands down the best degree at the associate level.
Nope 👎 Dental hygiene is
@@nungacynderilla5095 nurses make more money and have better mobility with their degree. Plus dental hygiene is a short live career. You never see an old dental hygienist.
@@rohseans , there may be some boutique practices where dental hygienist make good money, but the average registered nurse's salary is well above the average dental hygienist's salary.
@ I’m aware. I used to be a RN. Now I’m a DNP Nurse Practitioner
@ not to say that DH don’t make good money it’s just not what a RN makes. And not all about the money, the mobility of having a nursing degree is really a huge part of why nursing is so competitive
We really appriciate you man
I’ve been watching your videos for a while and you are so knowledgeable and thorough in your research. So proud and excited for you and your course!
Thank you so much!!
I thank you for your time to research about 2 year courses and giving us the best choices available. I'd smash like twice if I could
I appreciate that!
I graduated this year and earned my Associate's Degree in Bronx Community College with my major, Business Administration - Computer Programming Option. I'm so happy Business majors is an A tier major, I pick a really great choice, it also has a Computer Programming Option that has something to do with Computer Science that is an S tier major.
Basically, going to community college is a great choice.
I did this too. I’m a paralegal. 😇
I was surprised to not see legal degrees in this list. Glad you got an education in something real. Congrats.
Yesssss! That’s what I’m going for! 😍❤️
I might do the same too! Congrats! How do you like being a paralegal?
@@gotribe8333 It wasn’t on the list because many employers don’t care for a degree and employability plus salary isn’t as good as the ones on the list.
Congratulations Shane!! You do great work, I appreciate all you've done!! It's really helped me a lot.
Great to hear!
My parents want me to do 4 years. I rather only do 2 years
Electromechanical degrees at the associate level is pretty rewarding as well.
I'm still hoping Shane does a video on the best tech certifications. Good insight on associate degrees though!
My associate falls under engineering and it’s a crapshoot of getting into a job. Out in the gulf, everyone has experience a degree or both in engineering for refineries and chemical plants. If you can beat the thousands of other similarly qualified applicants, you can make over 6 figures with some overtime but all my friends that are in the field have aged hard and hate it but are too accustomed to the money.
I switched over to tech and now make the same sitting in the AC for 40 hours.
Tech degrees (with certs) definitely S+ tier.
Which degree did you get?
@@darthdarthbinkss process technology, it’s to run chemical plants and refineries. Super niche but very popular in my area.
@@StephenSatire that's pretty similar to instrumentation isn't it?
@@darthdarthbinkss yeah! Process technology runs operations where instrumentation handle calibrating everything for the units involved.
@@StephenSatire I see, I see. My dad worked for our city's utility company in the power plant as an instrument technology in the 80s and 90s and he did pretty well. I have no idea what I wanna do so I was considering trying that out. Thanks for the information. I'm from Texas as well.
Awesome video dude! I guess the smartest way to do it is to plan things out and get something that lets you start earning as early as you can.
Do internships while your in school,so you’ll have that experience plus schooling under your belt when you graduate
Network and system administration baby, S tier here we go!
I NEEDED THIS THANK YOU SHANE 😭
Welcome!
13:17 *Please do not belittle the complicated practice of "coding" as you say.* I'm a programmer for a bank. I can tell you right now you have to have a Bachelors degree or higher if you want any chance at being a programmer and making 70k a year. I have to program in p1 programming language and occasionally do database work in SQL. Most likely you will have to program in more than 1 language or risk losing out to another candidate. Unless you have 5+ years of professional coding experience from a reputable company, employers don't want someone with an associates or who got a certificate from some kind of coding boot camp. There is much more to programming than simply knowing how to print "hello world", open files, draw shapes, etc. in JAVA or C++. *You also have to be really good at math, know data structures and algorithms, analyze and design systems, etc.* You have to code efficiently. Your code can't take a week to finish running. You have to be able to refactor inefficient code when needed. Some programmers neglect writing scalable code and employers might need to hire someone who can write scalable code. Saying you can be a programmer with just an associates degree is like saying you can be a surgeon with an associates degree. It is possible *but would you want a surgeon with only an associates degree performing surgery on you?*
The more school the better honestly and if add that experience with it it’s basically a guaranteed your getting a job
Jim C I mean due,I also said you have to have some type of internship under your belt also and the person with the computer science is a lot more flexible because he has knowledge in other areas.He also has a better understanding.Trust me someone with a degree fresh out of college with internships has a better shot than someone who went to boot camp.It’s all about who you would place your bet on
i have an associates degree in physics, its only good for saying you have a "degree in physics" to impress people not much applicability to any job that ive seen
I'm disabled and pretty much bed ridden at this point. I have been looking into getting a associates degree online but I'm not sure which one to go for. I want something that helps me find online jobs so I can work and not depend on disability income. Any advice?
You’ll figure it out just keep planing.. you can do it ❤️❤️
If you like computers you could go for information technology, programming, or something of the sort.
Programming, Accounting or Business Management
Anything helps
Going for my associates degree in air conditioning technology 💪🏿
i got my associates degree in welding technology. to get into industry you do not need a degree however without any personal connections i believe my degree helped me tremendously in finding good job opportunities that have now landed me in a six figure salary easy, while doing what i actual enjoy doing.
Three figure salary?
@@pj7308 thanks for bring my mistake to my attention
Halfway with my associates in welding technology🎉
U should take advantage of the youtube chapter feature! I love your videos❤
Im a flute player. Im not a world class renown, im the best in high school. 5th best in my parish and ill seen if i can place in my state (Louisiana) this year. That being said, he's right mostly, i would never get a 2 year degree, it would have to be in flute performance and that would be a waste of time, it does not make you more qualified to do a certain job and your better of getting a 4 year degree in music education. But him saying find a place where you can be surrounded by people and put in a lot of hardwork, that's not exactly always gonna work for you. I can put in hours a day every day of the week and look at TH-cam videos etc and not pay a single dime and a 13yo whos been playing since he was 5 taking private lessons would absolutely be better than me. Going to college helps with people that want to improve drastically and do it as something they love. But don't get a 2 year degree for it 😭
Getting my aa in liberal arts- I want to get a bachelor's in social work but unfortunately there aren't any schools that offer it nearby so I'm giving myself that time to decide if it's what I really want before I commit to moving away

@@isamepython ?
I recommend switching majors to something more rewarding
@@deerlow1851 I need the aa in liberal arts to transfer to a school for social work.
21yo. Ive been busting my ass for 3 years now, and my cousnelors have pushed back my transfer to a university from a community college for a year now, and won't be able to transfer until fall 2023. By then I will have fulfilled 7 associates in math, physics, and engineering.
You should be the Jack of all trades and be the best all-round worker. That way, everyone could hire you and you could work your way to independent living.
Man I love these videos, very helpful to highschoolers
Thank you Shane! Appreciate the work you put into these videos 🙏🏼
I would suggest attending an Atelier if you want to be an artist. Much cheaper and better learning experience plus smaller more hands on classes.
You got the earning potential all wrong on that instrumentation degree. 75k + overtime to start is a reasonable expectation. Average in Texas is quickly approaching 100k base plus OT. OT dependant on what facility your at from 0-500+ hours.
I just graduated with my associates degree (associate of applied science) in Accounting. I currently work as an accounting assistant; don’t get me wrong the organization I work for is amazing and the people are awesome but the job it self is extremely tedious and monotonous (data entry, spreadsheets, etc.). I don’t know if I’ll be able to do this for the next 20 years without being miserable.. I know if I go back and get my bachelors I could easily transition into HR/Recruiting which I think suits my personality better anyways (INFJ-T personality type). What other opportunities are out there for me with my current credentials? I also have five years of customer service and office/clerical experience.
I'm going to community college to try to get a associates in accounting.... how much you get hourly??
Hey Shane, Please make a video on Bsc or BA health sciences as soon as possible.
Your videos are so valuable Shane
I am wanting to get a PhD in meteorology when I’m older, hopefully you do a video on PhD, imma go searching if you have one lol
He has one. Try finding it its there.
Ok
@@giovelin oh but not about metrology
Art degree = McDonalds cashier
Business degree = connections
Science degree = doctorate necessary
Communications degree = connections
Engineering degree = masters minimum
Teaching = BSE minimum
I think one thing we need to be especially wary of in these degrees is that many will force you to compete against bachelor degree holders for the same jobs. All the science degrees(with all the technician jobs), mathematics, and even some business ones will pit you against higher degrees that can only be beaten with experience on your resume.
Hard disagree on engineering masters. My buddy got Bachelors in EE and makes 97k a year in Texas at a plant.
Could you do a video on the best associates degrees in healthcare?
Take around 2 years, huh? I've been working on mine for 3. We don't all go to school fulltime. Most of us don't.
there's plenty of jobs available for psychology degrees though most are at the ba level but the associate level can get you in the door which many psych organizations will allow you to work for them and pay for you to advance to the next level. Though because a psychology is so popular the field is saturated and very competitive so that would make it difficult to even find a job after you get the degree
You'd be competing with a lot of people with newly-minted bachelor's degrees in psychology. An AA in psychology is a good place to start before you enroll in a BA program, especially if your community college has an articulation agreement with universities. To get a counseling job, though, you're going to need a master's.
@ I can get a counseling job with an AA in psych won't be able do much but it can be done depending on the agency
I am surprised that you did not include Nursing as an associate degree.
I think it's just grouped in with health degrees.
Very good Shane! I will subscribe to your channel. Thanks!
Great video. Thank you
Mission accomplished.
Shane do you have any videos of best certificate programs to complement some science degrees? I also really enjoy your videos.
Well Damn, I already have my associates in History and expect to get a bachelor's soon. Well, guess I should plan out grad school!
Great job

Can you do a video on Geographic information systems?
Yes shane I would like this too keep it up
Not worth it unless you are adding it on top of experience or another degree in my experience.
There are lots of opportunities with a Teaching AA to work in preschools, Montessori or daycares. You need a Bachelors and a teaching credential for K-12 though. Putting the teaching degree in ‘D’ tier is a bad call in my opinion.

OTA/PTA, the best-kept secret of associate's degrees/health industry jobs!
Yes!! Very much the best kept secret I’m currently in a OTA program now 🤫
Is it hard
@@bangbangninergang5133 I work with an OTA and she loves her job! I love watching her work with our students. Honestly had me considering perusing that career. I heard the license test is pretty difficult and expensive ($500) and it took her three tries to finally pass. But she's making $60,000+ annually with just an associates degree. The teachers in our state only make $47,000 a year with a bachelor's. I say it's worth it.
@@bangbangninergang5133 mmmm it’s a bit rigorous at times, so knowing the way you receive info or having a study technique that works for you helps but it’s very doable! I say go for it if you have an interest 😇
Not PTA, super competitive to get in.
Since Japanese is one of the most difficult languages for native English speakers to learn, would a degree in Japanese Linguistics move higher in the list or stay at D?

I am currently in the middle of my two years at a community college. I don't know whether to continue my associates of arts or transfer over to a associates of science. The biggest problem is that I don't know what I want to do with my life. I might join the military through the National Guard and then continue my school during or go special forces for while in the guard then retire after 5 years of something. Or if I don't join the military I will just go to a four year and start a small business. I have no clue what I actually want to do though. Any suggestions from people who have more experience in life and schooling?
Dude, you seriously need to cut back on the 'air quotes.' I think you may be an ADDICT. And some of the thing's you're using them on don't even require air quotes. Plus, when you do use air quotes, you're literally putting the words up on the screen already so that's kind of doing the same thing.
