You should focus on a subject that you find interesting. If you know what you want to do, you should aim for a degree that will help in your new career.
You do not need an associates degree to get a bachelors, one is just more extensive than the other. If I were you, I would go straight for the bachelors.
Well an associates degree is a two year degree while a bachelors is four. Not all major will transfer from an associates to a bachelors. For example you can get an associates in nursing and go on later to get your bachelors and it only be about two more years. But if you have an associates in nursing and you want a bachelors in business. You will pretty much have to start over and most likely only your prerequisites will count toward your new degree.
With the Associates degree you could work in a long term care facility as the admissions coordinator, administrative assistant but in order to actually be the administrator you would need your bachelors degree. You can look on line and it should tell you more of what you can do with the Associates degree.
An associates, bachelors, or masters in business administration or finance would be most helpful.
If you are in a transfer program at the associates level, and transfer to a four year college or university within the same field, your credits should be awarded toward your bachelors degree. In other words, an associate in business (transfer program), to a bachelor's in business should transfer well. Thus, two years at the associates level, and two additional years at the bachelor's level.
If your associates was taken as a transferable program of study, and your intended bachelors degree is in the same field of study, then it should take approximately two additional years.

If I understand your question correctly, the AA is a degree at the two year level and not a minor. If you take a bachelors degree, the associates would still remain a degree; a bachelors in elementary education, an associates of arts degree in early childhood education (which should be the way you would want it).
An associates degree takes approximately two years, and a bachelors four years as a full time student, and provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university. Both degrees are considered undergraduate degrees. If one already holds an associates degree in a transferable program within the same field of study, then the bachelors should only take an additional two years.
A bachelors degree can take between 120 and 128 credits to complete depending on the college or university, and the specific program of study. Thus, when transferring to a four year institution, you would have to complete an additional 60 to 64 credits. This is provided that the school you transfer to accepts your associates degree, full faith in credit. Some institutions can be very strict on what they accept. However, the associates in arts degree is typically a transfer program, so you should be fine.
Yes, however typically you will have to go for a bachelors degree first. But there are a few known exceptions to the traditional education paths. It really depends on the schools acceptance of the associates degree to pursue the masters.
There are some community colleges that offer an associates in communication/journalism, however you should think of nothing less than a bachelors degree which is a four year program of study.
