Salary is based on whatever someone is willing to pay you, and that is usually based on their perception of what you can accomplish for them. Salary, earning potential, and marketability are not only determined by the type of field you are in and the degree you possess. It depends on your position within that field, the institution you work for, your experience, expertise, personal abilities, critical thinking skills, problem solving abilities, dedication and commitment toward ones work, and more. Thus, salary is not so much dependent on the type of degree as much as it is dependent on the person who holds the degree. Still, if you have a specific occupational title, you can then retrieve the estimated mean annual wage particular to that occupation through the U.S. Department of Labor: Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Why do many questionnaires only have 'some college' as an option for people who have an associate's degree?

I hate how some applications don't have "Associates Degree" as an option. If you have an associates degree and you are filling out an application like that, you should write "Associates Degree in ____" on the side. I think that shows pride in your achievements, and you deserve to feel proud of getting an associates degree. "Some college" does not mean "associates degree". Someone who took 2 college classes could check "some college", and you took about 20. I agree with the above contributor. Applications should have a designation for the completion of an Associates degree. An Associates degree shows completion. There are Associates degrees as an Registered nurse, in Technology, Educating, multiple Allied Health fields, and the list goes on, and on, and on. As stated above, if it were me I would make sure I indicated the Associates degree on the application. Viper1


What major may one pursue in college if the intention is to become a Law Enforcement Officer?

If your intention is to become a Law Enforcement Officer, it would be appropriate to enroll in a Criminal Justice program of study. However, this is not to say other fields of study should be eliminated. Police Officers come from a variety of backgrounds and programs of study. The important issue is that you acquire a college degree, and with competition the way it is today, the higher the degree the better. You can start at a community college with an Associates of Arts degree in Criminal Justice, and then transfer to a four year institution for your bachelors degree which would be an additional two years. Just remember, for promotion purposes make every effort to secure a college degree. The higher the degree the more marketable you will become. Viper1
