I know NJ public colleges are required to take 60 credits from students who complete their associates degree first at a CC. Maybe this is only Nj? That's what I did and some of my friends did. It works out nicely...you save money without having credits lost in transfer.

It's a great deal for those in the NJStars program like yourself. Esp since NJStars carries over into the 4-year university.
Even then they aren't the best students. The better students that go into these programs attend 4 year schools and get a degree.
This is incorrect. Those who take RN or Criminal Justice programs for an Associates are looking to work now, and possibly attain higher degrees later. My mother received her BSN straight out of University, and maintains she was much less prepared than those who come out of CC's these days, due to the former's focus geared toward academia and the latter's focus on clinical training. An AA degree in nursing will get you the experience and on-the-job training necessary to be a nurse, while the many PRN or online university RN-to-BSN programs available deal with theory and in no way make for superior nurses.
Plenty of nurses,including me,were able to make 100,000 dollars in a year with just an Associates.
But then again,nursing is sort of different.
Experience trumps education.
You have a Bachelor educated Rn(Bsn) who has one year of experience,and an Associates
(ASN) who has 5 years experience. Most nurse managers are going to give the job to the ADN.
Anyone who graduates from a top university with a useless degree would have a better time flushing 100 dollar bill down the toilet.
But hey,according to you guys that's better right?
And Rutgers isn't a good school unless you graduated from select schools such as Rutgers College.
But wait,I thought the whole point was that four year colleges were better for education?
Are you saying that four year colleges are just as bad as CC?
What would be the purpose of going to a not so great 4 year college vs a CC?
