What is the value of an associates degree?

[Edit]

Answer

An associates degree is very valuable in obtaining a bachelors degree. This is no joke. Very few positions pay more and a dollar or 2 an hour more for an associates over a high school graduate, often not even that. However, getting an associates if very valuable in determining if you've got what it takes to earn a bachelors degree, so many people start out going for the AA and get the BA, if they can't then they can feel good about the next direction they go knowing they did what they could.
