I went straight from an associate's degree to working on earning a bachelor's degree, but waiting probably would of been better for me. The time I spent in game design probably could of been avoided since I ended up switching to a different course.

I DO BELIEVE THAT ONCE A PERSON FINISHES THEIR ASSOCIATE DEGREE THEY SHOULD GO RIGHT INTO THE BACHLORS WHILE THE MIND IS STILL FRESH.

My sister went straight from an associate's degree in business to a pursuing a bachelor's degree in accounting. It worked out great for her because she was able to use most of her associate credits towards the accounting degree plan. It saved her about a semester and a half worth of hours. I guess it mostly just depends on what your specific plans are.

If the plan is to get your bachelor's, why not just get that right away? You don't need an associates degree to do that.

It depends on your situtation.  For me it was easier for me to go straight from finishing my Associates Degree straight into my Bachlors Degree because I had help at home with my children.  It's a lot easier to get your degree when your younger.  Trust me I know.  I have 4 kids at home which made going back to school hard for me.  I will finally have my BA in December.

I would transition straight from the associate program into the bachelors program just for the simple fact that your mind and schedule have alreadu became use to going to school and learning. It just makes it easier in the end to get in, get done and get into the work force. That's just my opinion of course... :thumbsup:
