Well, I did it. I now have my Associate Degree. Took me a few years of stop-and-go attendance, but I eventually did it. Half-assing it, I finished out with a cumulative 3.5 GPA, so I'm pretty happy with that. I graduated with a major in general studies with an emphasis on CS. You're probably wondering "what the fuck is 'general studies'?" It's basically just a degree you get for doing the Gen Ed requirements. It transfers nicely and doesn't lock you into any one major. It is a pretty useless degree in the sense nobody is going to be urgently hiring people with GenStudies degrees, but it's great for just taking out the Gen Ed requirements and it transfers nicely to universities. So if you're planning on going to a 4-year university, consider a gen studies degree at a community college. You can take elective classes for the major you'll want in a 4-year, and it'll be a hell of a lot cheaper. I talked with a counselor and it would basically zero out the university I'm planning on…
