What are the best paying careers for an Associate degree?

Question

Since I have found many consistent answers to this question from various web sites on a google search, I now ask this question for those of you with personal experience in this aspect. I want to see if there is a correlation of your personal-based experiences to the web sites' answers as to what careers/jobs offer the highest pay/lowest degree ratio to validate the deviation. It just seems to good to be true that one, fresh out od a 2 year program in college, can jump onto a $60,000+ a year job with absolutely no prior work experience!!!

Thanks all in advance!

Answer 1

Radiation therapists make 60k.  

Engineering technicans make 40k.

Nurses make 40k.

Answer 2

Anything computer related would do you well, but it will be pretty hard to find a 60k plus a year job on a 2 year degree - more like 30 - 40 for starters with no experience.  A computer information systems degree would open many doors for advancement though.

Answer 3

accounting

Answer 4

Yes, it is too good to be true.  LAN Administration right of out school with an AAS/AA would start at $30-40K depending on grades, work experience and where the job is.

EE's out of school, don't start at $60K.  Unless in the DC/Alexandria area where the cost of living is extremely high.
