Is doing your associates before your bachelors a viable option?

No benefit other than shows a bachelors program you were committed enough to get an associates. Very little value in terms of job options unless you are looking at healthcare professions - respiratory therapy, radiology, and some laboratory jobs. Even then they're moving towards preferring bachelors in science. I'm sure there are other profession I'm not as familiar with, but minor reward with just an associates nowadays.

Yes it's an option. Pros are you can finish a stint of school faster and get some experience in the field. Con is you have to want to go back to school and get your bachelors. It can be a good option if you only have a vague notion you want to do.

I fucked around for four years in art and design and comp sci without a plan and just got a liberal arts associates. Going back to school for marketing, roughly six years later.

Wow, I typed out a reply and then noticed some stupid fucking diaper porn image. Fuck you.

Pretty useless. No one cares about an associate's degree, and once you graduate with a bachelor's degree you should take your associates off your resume entirely.

NO.
No.
Just no.
It's a waste of time.
I aussme you are going to a JC in the U.S.?
Just transfer as fast as you can.
Even if you are going to a 4year, don't waste time. Get your degree. Finish your bachelors. Even if you change majors 4 times, figure it out and finish.
Cons are you waste time and money, there are no pros.
Diaper finish is shit tier btw

Depends. I was able to get two associates on my way to my bachelor's without having to do anything extra. Doing my last class for my bachelor's now.

i will and always have seen the Associates degree as almost like an incomplete degree. it basically says " hey i was able to stick around for half of it." getting just an associates i personally think is a waste of time. it is all personal preference.

As mentioned, the primary time to really do this is within the healthcare field, and the main reason for that is to get a job and experience while working on the bachelor's. I've known several nurses who got a 2 year RN, then got jobs and continued to work as they pursued their bachelor's and it worked out very well for them. Otherwise, just get prerequisites out of the way.
