Lol cuz associate degrees are worth a damn right? The economy were in right now is basically if you don't have a 4 year degree (in a math, science, engineering, or health care I should add) from a fairly big named school (usually that means it needs a D1 football team) you are a dime a dozen.

Actually the science degrees are mostly pretty useless if you stop after undergrad, since they don't teach you any immediately applicable skills. Like, if I were not to apply to grad school, I would be way worse off with my math and physics degrees than someone who had done computer science, EE, statistics or something, because what I can do is basically those things, except an employer is thinking "I might as well take someone who actually has one of those degrees so I'm positive they know the basics." Pretty unfortunate considering getting a physics degree is just as difficult as getting one of the more challenging engineering degrees.
