I can think of at least 50. If you can't find any jobs that are hiring people with associates, you're not looking hard enough
dude seriously? I mean, maybe there are a few, but I HAVE an associates degree, and every time I looked the only thing that actually asked for one was like, manager of a movie theater, but you still had to have way more experience than I had.
though I do agree that technical certificates can help, associates degrees are pretty much just stepping stones in this work environment.
