What Colleges Have A Good Child Development Major?
I'm currently in 10th grade and need to start researching more into colleges I want to attend. As we must make a list of colleges we are looking at for my scholarship program. I want to stay in california but out of state is considerable depending on their financial aid. I'm also completing my Associates Degree in hopes to finish before high school through LACCD. So a college willing to accept it would be perfect. With this in mind are there any colleges that stand out or come to mind as though I have a preference changes are willing to be made.
What are some Associate Degrees in the medical field that can be pursued?
My name is Faith. I want to go to University of Southern Florida or Hillsborough Community College in Florida. I have been working with kids and special needs kids since I was in 5th grade. I adore my church and am willing to go the extra mile. I have been thinking about my profession a lot, and everytime I go back to something medical. I want to have a family and get married young, so I only want to be in actual college for 2 years. I am 16 and have the schedule of an adult if not busier.
Should I keep pursuing higher education after getting my associate's degree, even if I can already get a good career with this?
I'm in my second year of trade school and already have certificates in wind turbine technology and industrial maintenance. I'm about to get certified in robotics as well so I'll have my associate's degree in energy technology. That means I can get a career in wind turbines, boilers, power generation, electrical, robotics, automation, or any other sort of related field. Many careers in these trades already start around $60k+ and can easily get you 6 figures with enough overtime. Is it worth going for a bachelor's or even a master's? The education would help but it doesn't do much without actual experience, and I just want to get out to the field and make some real money.
What careers are most needed right now and will be for a while?
I'm also wondering if some of those can be achieved in associate's degrees, certifications, and short-term trade schools. Not just 4-6 year universities.
Would it be possible to work towards an Associates and Bachelors at the same time??
Hi, I'm a rising junior interested in becoming an orthodontist and I want to know how much I'll be able to take on once I go to college. I've heard you can get some Associates degrees online, which is something I've recently become interested in. My question is could I get an Associates in Dental Assisting online whilst simultaneously working towards a Bachelors Degree (bio or chem) in person? If not, I'll settle with a Bachelors, but I'm curious if both are attainable as I don't want to spend more time than I have to. Thank you!
I'm thinking of taking the 2+2 route, starting at a CC and transferring to a 4-year for my bachelor's. What should I be prepared for? Tips? Advice? Is this the right choice?
I'm a high school senior, 4.3 GPA and going to a CC and transferring feels like I'm failing at life. Dramatic, I know, but there's a lot of pressure on me to go straight to a 4-year. While CC truly is not my top choice, my parents can hardly provide any support for 4-year tuition and I'm not sure how far scholarships can get me. Please give ANY advice you have to work through this problem!

What would I do to become a dental hygienist or an ultrasound technician? (multiple questions in the description)
I am having trouble deciding whether I want to be a dental hygienist or an ultrasound technician. Either way, I am unsure of what I am meant to do to become either or. I was doing some research and they said I could just go to community college as you only need 2 years (associate degree) to become a dental hygienist (not sure about ultrasound technician) Is that true?

What college major would they fall into?
Should I get my associates degree while in highschool?
I’m a freshman in highschool. My school has an early college program where you can take college classes and earn an associate’s degree. But I have no idea if it’s right for me. What would my highschool and college career look like if I got my associates in highschool? I heard that I’ve your looking to get into an IVY league or top college, the degree won’t help much. You can take some AP’s while doing college courses, but I believe by Senior year, where you’ll be taking 4 college courses, there will be no room for AP’s. Also, I heard that if you get your associates degree, you will only spend 2 years in college. I’m not sure how true that it. For me, I will am interested in biomedical engineering (this I’m not even confident in) The only thing is I’m not too sure of my future career… I could change my mind at any second. If I choose to get my associates degree in high school, my life will rush through when I’m not even sure about anything. What will I do if I want to change my mind?:( I’m not sure what I’m gonna do. I want to succeed. Like my older siblings, I want to get into good colleges with scholarships. They had a different high school experience and their school is much different from the school I chose to go to. I don’t know anything about any of this and no one is helping me!!! :,( I just really want to succeed, despite not being too sure about my future career…. I just hope everything works out. I’m supposed to make my choice by the end of this week. What do I do? Should I just go through highschool doing AP’s/Honors or should I try to get my associates degree? And if I were to get my associate’s degree in highschool, what would my future look like?

Is it worth it getting an associates in illustration?
I am a high school student who is working on getting my bachelors in communications integrated with media management through dual enrollment.

What is the best associates degree to get before getting a bachelor's degree in cybersecurity?
Both my younger brother and sister want to earn their associate's degree in cybersecurity, However, I'm concerned that they will be unable to find jobs after graduating with only their associate's degree. I've researched cybersecurity jobs, and discovered that most, if not all require at least a bachelor's degree. They want to work before getting their bachelor's degree so that they can have experience and see if they like the tech industry. Are there other associate's degrees that would have more job opportunities? Also, which computer/IT associate's degree be most compatible with a bachelor's in cybersecurity (i.e. the most credits would transfer/give them a basic foundation of computer knowledge)? Thanks in advance!!!

What are the usual degree requirements of a Web Designer and Developer
I am starting school at a local community college this fall, and after long deliberation, have decided that I want to do web design/development, since I have taken both AP Art and AP Computer Science Principles, and they both ended up being two of my favorite classes, and have given me enough design and code experience to make me feel comfortable enough to want to pursue it as a career. I've decided I want to first off, start with an associates degree, as my college offers an AAAS in Graphics/Web Development. It offers two tracks for the degree, and I have actually decided to take both tracks and some extra Java classes since I have all of my general education requirements completed from AP courses. All around, the program itself along with the extra classes I plan to take I feel will be great in preparing me for a job with just an associates degree. BUT- I've done a lot of "job research" (I've googled web designer and web developer jobs) and I feel as if a lot of them require a bachelors degree in either computer science or graphic design. I don't really know if I want to go for a full-blown bachelors, considering I want to go into as little student debt as possible, and being financially independent of my parents is a really big goal for me Will an associates degree prepare me fully for a web design/development job? Will there be jobs for me, if I only pursue an associates? Also, any other career advice that is related would be super helpful. #graphic-design #college #webdesign #webdeveloper #webdevelopment #informationsystems #design #web-design #web-designer #associates-degree #design #graphic-design

Is college worth the investiment if I am interested in pursuing a creative field?
Hello, currently I am an art student attending community college for an associate's degree in fine art and for a while now I have been contemplating if I am really suited to be in a college environment? Because after reflecting upon my own skills and interests I have recognized that I do not have many useful skills outside of art and I do not feel that college is a necessity if your an artist. I can understand the need for college for people who want to pursue more technical careers such as medical or law but when it concerns more creative fields that relate to art the work that you have produced holds more value to employers than a college degree. While I do believe that college art classes would help improve my skills, at the same time, I also think there are cheaper and more convenient alternatives for improving my craft on account of all the information that is available to artists online and that includes all of the countless internet videos that teach art lessons. So my question is would a degree in art actually help me land a job in the future? Or am I wasting time and money trying to get a useless degree when I would be better off spending my time promoting my own art work and creating content that will increase my value as an artist? I would like to hear your opinions on this subject and thank you in advance for any advice you can give me. #career #artist #fine-art #future-careers #community-college #associates-degree #creative-direction #personal-development #financial-planning #career-details
