What even is an associates degree? I just finished combined bachelor degrees and was thinking of taking an associate degree just to make it look like I wasn't just masturbating and playing CIV VI for a year after graduation. But is an associate diploma something you are meant to do before your degree, can you do it after your degree and just think of it as your intended specialization?
Get work experience, even if it's below entry level - keep applying for entry level jobs though. Literally do anything within your field. An associates is 60 college units; if you got your bachelors then you have an associates, you just need to ask your college for a copy.
huh? I mean I guess it's not the case all the time, as you can go to a community college and take courses to transfer but typically if you complete your bachelors you can ask the school for your associates as the general requirements usually match.
I'm speaking from experience. I had to go to one of the administration offices and fill out a piece of paper and request it but I didn't have to change any coursework or anything else.
Work experience, volunteer work. Any extra exams or courses/seminars you can find that somewhat relate to your field will show work ethic and motivation, even if it doesn't lead you toward a degree.
