What can you really do with an AA/AS degree?

By good paying jobs, I mean non-menial jobs that can support a family (with benefits).

To clarify, I do not work for the college.

The construction degree is not a practical degree like welding. It’s mainly gen. studies with 1 class in each of these: construction management, const materials, archit drafting, and surveying.

Culinary is not preparing someone to be a pastry chef. It’s general studies with 2 classes in food service and prep that “e focuses on culinary operations concepts, including kitchen structures and design, inventory and control, service systems and advanced menu development within a commercial setting.” My thought is that you can get into the restaurant business without a degree. Am I wrong?

There are plenty of people without degrees in childcare too. Will an associates degree get you a good paying job in childcare?

In other fields, I wonder if an AA can land a job since AA grads will be competing with people who have bachelor’s degrees; I believe this to be true for paralegals.
