SUMMARY
Graduates with an Associate's degree in Engineering, particularly in fields like Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, can find entry-level positions, but the value of the degree is often questioned. Many professionals, including those with experience in industrial maintenance and electrical technology, report that an Associate's degree may lead to limited job opportunities, primarily in technical roles. The consensus suggests that pursuing a Bachelor's degree, such as a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE), is more beneficial for career advancement and job satisfaction.
