What's an associate in applied science ?

[GoofKing]

I was browsing my town's local community college and saw something that might interest me but I'm confused about the term 'associate in applied science'. Is it something to do with IT ?

Should I go and transfer credits if I get an AAS or do employers really care about that ?

It is a big topic involving your life future. It working out first what you want and what you are suitable for. It going to take you time to work this out doing lots of research and getting feedback from others.

For myself when I manage things for my life, I try to get as much feedback from people possible and filter out what I consider is the best advice.

I wouldn't want to bore anyone here with that sort of thing, who'd want to have a long discussion with me about what I would want to take and listen to me change my mind over and over again. I have three things that interests me and I'm weighting my options based on what additional subjects I would have to take along with it.

So far the media management might be my best option since it deal with creativity and art with a little bit programming. I'm thinking about how I have the habit of giving things up when it gets too challenging for me.

If there employment centers in your area funded by the government, you can have this type of discussion with an employment counselor. Sometimes there organizations funded by non profit organizations as well.

Some of the best greatest people need to fail a lot to succeed including myself. With my LD, in general is takes me longer to learn than most people and need to make more mistakes than others until I can succeeded on something I want to achieve. I remember the business program I took when I was in Toronto I got rejected 5 times before they finally accepted me. Someone I meet said they got rejected 3 times. I told them if you can beat my record in being rejected, contact me. The following attempt that person got accepted.

It means you're doing something practical. My first degree was a AAS in computer science. So you'd do labs and learn how to do grunt work of one kind or another. Then you could directly use it to get a job.

An Associate's of Science would be something like...I dunno like forestry where you would transfer it to a four-year. You would still do labs, but it would not be as easy to get a job afterward. An Associate's of Arts would be like English or...Painting. Again, just something you would transfer, not so much use on its own.
