Guy after big dump: ugh, no, the arts degree dispenser's empty! *rummages thru bag for scrap paper* I hope my actual arts degree is in here.

Get the Arts Degree Dispenser mug.Two-year degree offered by Community Colleges and some State Colleges. Known for attracting students of EVERY age, EVERY race, EVERY income background and EVERY academic ability.
Some Associate Degrees are actually very useful by themselves like Nursing, HVAC, Criminal Justice and some business fields but most are just stepping stones to get to a Bachelors degree.
MANY credits actually WILL transfer to a 4-year college. But this largely depends on which college you plan on going to. Obviously a top ivy league school or something close to that will be more selective but if your just looking for a decent/good college to finish your Bachelors Degree then you will be fine.

Get the honorary degree mug.An academic title conferred by universities and colleges as an indication of the completion of a course of study, or as an honorary recognition of achievement.
Or more honestly, something that you have to get in order to get a decent job. While most schools confer degrees, there is a new class of ttt schools, mostly online like University of Phoenix and Walden University, that basically sell degrees. While not technically a diploma mill, these new schools have such weak standards that US News and World Report doesn't even bother to rank them. So as long as you stick to a real college, UCLA, Harvard, Duke University, Texas A&M University, University of Miami, University of Michigan... (you know, real schools), your degree should be worth something.
