3 Degrees-Is this possible?

[burbuja0512]

I agree that the AAS + BA in Social Science combo first is a good one, but I would like to add another suggestion:

If he is considering the Associates in Biz, why not just have him do the BSBA if he really has time and energy to get a 3rd degree before he moves to grad school? An associates degree is MUCH better than nothing, and especially impressive for some of the younger homeschooled kids here, but doesn't do a lot in the real world.

The AAS seems to be relatively useful as far as associates-level degrees go, but having been in the business world for years, I can honestly say that an associates in business would not serve a purpose for getting a job. Hypothetically, you could say that the ASBA (is that the acronym?) should prove that your son has some business sense and might qualify him for advancement somewhere, but business is just so common. I mean, MBA's are a dime a dozen, business undergrads are everywhere, so the ASBA would be a stretch to use for almost anything. If he tried to say that he had a solid understanding of business because of the associates, he would probably get laughed at for anything other than entry level.

If he had to go to any extra trouble for this associates, I would say get the BSBA or don't spend the time doing it, unless it's just really, really easy to get the ASBA. After all, it wouldn't hurt anything, it just wouldn't add a significant amount of value to his resume in most situations.

Sorry! That's just my opinion and based only on my experience, so it may not be true for all fields. It sounds like he's doing a great job!!!
