Well I have a Associates in Information Technology and I have to say its pretty much useless, the guys that work with me in IT have no degree and make as much as me. I'm currently in my early 30's and working on a Bachelors in a totally different field .
If you have made a choice of school, e.g. UNC Greeley, talk directly with them about the transferrence of credits. It is up to them to evaluate these credits.
You can get an Associate's Degree in health information and then take a national RHIT test (Registered Health Info Tech). If you have an RHIT, you can get a coding job. Coding is assigning diagnosis codes for health insurance/govt claims. There are a lot of jobs in this field right now, and in states like MN, the pay is pretty decent. It's not the most exciting job, but you can make a decent living, and you need to apply at bigger hospitals. That's where the better paying jobs are.

I saw your post this evening, and I was wondering. Did you look for other jobs in the larger cities? Did you talk to you employer about getting a raise since you have an associates? Did you get any certifications in IT?
I would not be to concerned with your curriculum in community college as long as you have taken the liberal arts transfer path - the one that articulates smoothly into a four year college.
ASL is useful for many jobs. I would take it, but NOT if it keeps you in community college longer than need be.
With an Associates degree with a concentration in psychology, you might want to look for jobs in group homes, half way houses, as psychiatric assistants, mental health techs, mental health therapy aids - there are so many different names for the job I am referencing.
The requirement is usually "some college" and an Associate degree would qualify.
You will need to continue your education, but it sounds as though you already know that.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with this one*. The entire legal field is saturated and shrinking. Besides, it's a very stressful line of work if you do manage to find a job.
* I did bother with this one about 8 years ago, so I have firsthand knowledge of which I speak.
