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
