Exactly.
I will just add the following :
A higher degree does not translate to a higher salary.
It depends on the area of study.
An associate degree in Auto Mechanic Repair can earn more than a
Masters in Political science who teaches 3rd grade.
My spin :
- Associates degrees are for people who want to learn something
to start making money as soon as possible.
- Bachelors degree is for people seeking more diverse and well rounded
education. With concentration in areas of the abstract, as some ideas
will not even exist in the real world yet. More of a general education with
a choice of study in a particular field(example: Computer Science Major).
- Masters, more extensive in a
particular area of study than bachelors.
- PHD, highly specific and abstract and only for well educated people
who already have learned how to learn while earning other degrees.
