BA in Psychology. There are lots of places that will not hire you with an AA, except for an administrative support position.

On average, a four year degree out bids a two year degree.

Definitely the BA.

That would depend upon what the person considering the career path finds valuable to themselves. Value, is quite subjective, and should not be looked at from the singular perspective of what a potential future employer may desire.

There are pah-lenty of successful independent marketing advisers out there without a four year education. Self employment has its own certain benefits. Some find them quite valuable.

Opportunity and money? It’s who ya know….
But, I would get the BA, the work you’ll put in to attain it will better prepare you for the Business world. And be sure to intern in the summers to make contacts and begin building your resume.

Any Degree Is Valuable! However, it only gets you an interview and that is the real value! Tony Dahlin Venice Trade Schools credit hours usually won’t transfer and probably won’t get you that interview..
