It's fine, but it depends largely on what you want to do. Take a look at a site like Monster.com or other job site and check out adds that interest you. If the majority require a bachelor's degree (and a most do), then you might want to think about higher education. However, if you want to get into a field where college isn't too important, you can still get a good education with an associate's degree.

Is it possible to get both bachelors and associate's degree?
Of course! In fact, that's the best way: Get the two-year associates degree, first; and then ask a four-year bachelors degree program to have said associates degree count as the first two (freshmand and sophomore) years of the bachelors; and then enter said bachelors as a full junior, completing that, and then the senior years, and, voila!, you emerge from the four years with both an associates and a bachelors!Or you could just enter the four-year bachelors program as a freshman, do all four of its years, and emerge after four years with just a bachelors. The first two (freshman and sophomore) years are very, very similar, regardless which of the two ways you do it. That being the case, my advice is to always get the associates first, and then the bachelors, so that one gets two (2) degrees, instead of just one, from the same four years of study!But, hey... that's just me.

What grade level would you be in a 4 year college after acquiring an associates degree?
Students who complete the appropriate transfer associates enter the four year institution with junior level status (3rd year).
What questions do you need to ask before you transfer to a four year university or college?
Answer 1: First and foremost, the four-year bachelors program must be accredited by an agency approved by the US Department of Education (USDE), and/or the USDE-sanctioned Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).Next, you'll want your entire two-year associates degree to count as the entire first two (freshman and sophomore) years of the bachelors degree; so that you may enter said bachelors program as a full junior, and complete just two more years in order to earn your bachelors. If any part of the associates won't count toward the freshman and sophomore years of the bachelors, then you may have to take a few additional lower division (freshman and sophomore level) courses to satisfy whatever are the bachelors degrees requirements which the bachelors degree program says you're missing. You'll want to be crystal clear about all that before entering the bachelors program.Beyond that, there's not too much to worry about, academically, because it's mostly the upper-division (junior and senior year) courses that matter in a bachelors program... that's where all the courses in the major (and minor, if one is declared), and the general electives, are taken; and almost nothing that you took in the associates degree manifestly affects any of that. What matters most about the associates is that it satisfies whatever are the bachelors program's requirements; and said requirements are usually related to what's called "lower division general education" (LDGE).If your associates is sufficiently well-crafted, then the bachelors program's LDGE requirement will be either entirely, or nearlly entirely satisfied by the associates degree. As long as that's the case, then the only academic questions you should have for the bachelors program will be related to your major and/or minor... neither of which have anything to do with the associates, even if the associates is in the very same thing, or something compatible with, whatever will be your bachelors degree's major.So, then, all that leaves, really, are questions about things like what life will be like on campus, in what kinds of extra-curricular activities you could become involved, what things cost, what are the rules, where and how will you live, etc., etc., etc.

Is it best to go for associate or bacholers degree first?
You can choose to start with either if your intent is to obtain the bachelor's degree.An Associate degree (two year community college) is designed as a two year program of study as a full-time student provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college. Evidently it would take longer as a part-time student. Within the United States, the associates typically falls into three main categories; Associates of Arts (AA), Associates of Science (AS), and Associates of Applied Science (AAS). An associates of arts (AA), and associates in science (AS) degrees are typically designed for transfer to a four year college or university. Therefore, these degrees have a strong liberal arts emphasis and include a good balance of humanities, social science, and written communication along with the exact sciences especially in higher level math. They also have the foundational course work needed as prerequisites for the higher level courses at the four year institution. The AAS was typically designed as a terminal degree giving the student all the expertise needed to enter the workforce after completion of the degree. However, today, many AAS degree are transferable to four year institutions, but the student should meet with the transfer counselor for appropriate direction when it comes to the AAS degrees. Depending on the program of study and state mandates, the associates can take anywhere from 60 to 64 credits to complete. Some programs of study (usually within the health related fields) may take a bit more in credits.Four Year College or University LevelThe bachelor's degree (four year college or university) is designed as a four year program of study provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university. Again, part-time students will take longer to complete the degree. How long it would take depends on the credit load taken per semester. Basically, within the United States there are two common categories; Bachelors of Arts (BA), and Bachelors of Science (BS). It depends on the institution and department within the school as to which focus they prefer.The BA has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the humanities, theoretical and general knowledge in a recognized discipline, interdisciplinary field, or of a professional study.The BS is more of a focused approach with a science base to include a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, math and computer oriented skills, and practical skills needed for a particular discipline within the field.The number of credits required depends on the program of study. In general, the bachelors can take between 120 and 128 credits to complete. Some programs of study may take more. For example, architecture. The following are some differences between community colleges, and four year colleges and universities.Community CollegeMany individuals start at the community college level for a variety of reasons to include:Community colleges are less expensive to start out with. You can cut the cost of a four year degree almost in half by starting at a community college first, and then transferring to four year college or university to finish up the last two years.There are typically smaller classroom sizes at the community college with a better professor to student ratio, which means more individualized attention.Some students do not meet the entrance requirements of the four year college or university, thus they start at the community college first, then transfer later.The community colleges are typically more family oriented, with a strong sense of community.Some students like to be close to home, thus they start at their home county community college.Four Year Colleges and UniversitiesFour year institutions are usually larger, with a number of activities not offered at the community college level. For example, fraternities, and sororities, college football, etc.Some colleges may have top name lecturers, within large lecture halls which are preferred by many students.Some individuals like the four year institutions environment (the university atmosphere).There are students who can major in special program curriculums not offered by the community college.In the end, it is a matter of preference.
