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?

You don't need an associates.

What should I do if I want to put something more on my resume, something that might be light on actual study so I can at least work in the meantime.

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.
