" As with anything, you have to do your research. All I know is that the job placement rate for the “technical college” wing (which is the one that offers our associate’s degrees) of the open-access university I work at is really high, and this is an area that doesn’t lack for bachelor’s degree holders, so there’s clearly something worthwhile there. "

Just curious as to what specific degrees is this technical college awarding? The CC colleges near us offer degrees much like the OP posted. We do have a technical college that offers 2 - 4 year programs that do very well. Huge difference in the degrees offered.

I know when our DD was looking for a job, many were requiring at least an associates degree even for file clerks. They were full time, so income boost there, but she would never support a family with it.
