WGU BS Business Admin

My thing is, if I get an Associate's degree I get a raise. I would get a raise with a Bachelor's as well, but negligibly so compared to an AS and a job related IT or Industrial automation cert + Associates would do the same thing. I'm much more motivated for an easy AS General Studies w/IT certificate then spending the time at WGU. My schedule isn't conducive to WGU's pay-per-term instead of pay-per-credit, making it hard to justify doing it if I can't transfer 60-90 credits.

Speed is more important for the AS short term. I won't need a BS at my current employer unless I want to be a technical architect, and NA doesn't matter. That's the options I'm weighing. Fast AS to pivot to WGU, or NA BS General Studies and then a Master's at WGU or APU if I find myself needing RA.

Thanks for the advise.

Of course. Yes that is a very good reason for an associates. I guess just for people on this forum if they get an AS in business and then get a BS in Business the AS is unnecessary. But for a raise it makes total sense.

Also, I wasn't telling you what to do or anything. Some people want an associates degree for personal reasons and that is perfectly fine as well.

I guess it's just sometimes people on this fourm want to get an AS from one school and then BS from another and think that makes things faster and it doesn't. And the fact that an associates transferred to WGU doesn't help much, and you can just do all gen eds on your own.
