Yea so I'm going to a community college and have no idea which I should choose. The business degree is just general business with no concentration, designed more for transfer to a 4 year school but can still get you a job after graduation. The accounting degree is focused on accounting and is more for getting a job right after you graduate, it can still be transfered to a 4 year school but a lot of the credits probably wont transfer over..

Which should I do??? I'm not really sure wether I want to go to a 4 year school after I'm done. This is really a hard decision for me. Can someone help me out???

And please dont tell me that associate degrees are worthless or that they dont mean anything. This degree can get me a starting salary of 25-35K and that can increase after a few years of experience, so thats enough for me. So any spam or posts which contribute no value to the topic will be reported, thanks

Business, then move on to a four year university and get a higher degree.

Well it sounds like you want to get into the world of work sooner rather than later so it seems the accounting one is what you're after and it does leave you the chance of the four year schooling after if you change your mind by then.

I'm really kind of confused because the school told me that the accounting degree was the one I should choose if I want to get into the work force right after graduation. However, payscale.com says that the average salary for an associate degree in business is higher then one in accounting
