I've never understood why people get associates degrees of they're going to get a bachelor's anyway. What's your reasoning, OP?

Cheaper, can transfer credits, less intensive for people who are/feel they're not smart enough to take on a 4 year school right away, gives you time to decide if you want to do it or not before dropping $10k

go to CC and transfer to a 4 year to save money

Sure, if you're interested in it and planned out what you want to do.

That's like asking "Is becoming a doctor a good idea?" "Is studying finance and applying to investment banking jobs a good idea?", many variables.

what I meant was is it something that pay well and is in demand

Sure but you can transfer with any # of credits or at least you could last time I checked.

What's the value add? Is it just risk mitigation in case you drop out of the 4 year? Do associates actually get hired in CS?

I wasn't talking about computer science. Completely different major. And it's a transfer option that the CC offers. Get the A.A.S and then the B.S. for cheaper. Either way, financial aid and the state is paying for it.

That's a big part of it. Like I said it's cheaper and some people might not be ready mentally to go to a 4year school straight away. So they'll start in community college to get used to studying and such.

Sure if you're good and have a passion. But don't expect to just get your piece of paper then collect your job.

I'll relocate if I have to. I live in the Northeast so there are a lot of companies that I could work for.
