Just curious, in general how many more opportunities did you guys get going from your associates to Bachelors? Disregarding specific trades were a BS/BA is required or obvious scenarios.
It seemed for me the difference between having an AS and HS diploma was absolutely nothing. I might as well not even have an AS.
Did you notice a huge increase of opportunities after you graduated, a little more, none?
I remember when I got my AS, well it was my second AS actually. I went in for an interview to be a Veterans employment rep. It was the classic interview scene, two guys outside the office waiting for our interview. He was super nervous, and started talking, turns out he was 22, never worked in his life(parents paid through college) but he had a BS
Me? At that time I had 2 AS degrees, Science and Accounting, 3 years experience as a employment rep before, veteran(this was FOR a veterans rep position), and 9 years work experience were my previous employers basically begged me to stay.
I followed up, and he got the job. No surprise there right?
I called when I got word, and the employers words were literally: "Yeah we liked what you had to offer much more actually, but the bachelors degree is something we just, can't ignore." lol. So thats my experience with it. lol. The 22 year old lasted 4 months there and was fired for being on the phone too much, and I was hired somewhere else.
