Pierpont BOG AAS 2020

[dfrecore]

The main issue as I see it is that it's an AAS, not an AS/AA.  Some places will not accept that degree, so I'd be careful getting if before knowing if it will fit my purposes.  It certainly can't hurt, but it just may not be as helpful as you'd think.

Well I'm thinking for employment purposes any associate degree of any kind looks better than 2 years of college that you dropped out of. I know some people in that boat. They have about 60 credits but have no interest in going back to school paying a bunch of money or taking a bunch of classes. This can help this advance professionally quickly and easily. Something to put on a resume. Personally, this AAS would look better on a resume than a 2-year college drop out. But that is my opinion and I don't hire people so idk.

Also, I have a friend who will have 60 credits from a 4-year university by the end of this semester.  If the university she goes to continues online for the fall will drop out or take time off school. I suggested this opinion to her if that happens and she loved the idea. Even just for the sake of finishing, say she never goes back to school she will have a diploma to show for her efforts.

Generally, employers won't care about an associates degree.  And, if you went to college and dropped out, that wouldn't be on your resume at all.

I'd say that it can't hurt, but won't help MUCH.  I probably wouldn't pay $500 for it, but some people might think it's worth it.  I only did it myself because it was free (I wanted to see if I could get it back when you could), and I've never put it on my resume - even when I didn't have my BS.  There wasn't a single job I ever applied to where an AAS was asked for (once in a while I'd see a low-level accounting job where they wanted an AS in Accounting or Business, but never a general AA/AS/AAS).

But I'm confused because you went to college for 2 years and dropped out and didn't list it on your resume at all, wouldn't it look like you had no education? Wouldn't, in that case, having an AAS be worth it and look better on a resume to have something under the education section. Make it look like you finished a degree. idk.

I've never heard of anyone putting "went to college for 2 years and dropped out" on their resume.  You either have a degree, certificate, whatever, or not.  Just going to school doesn't count for anything. I went to school for more than 2 years, and never had it on my resume.  It never stopped me from working.
I WOULD say that I was a current student if I was though - with an expected graduation date if they were looking for that.  But not that I had gone to school and just never finished.
