I will be majoring in Architectural Drafting at my community college. I am wondering, for those already out in this field of work, is it better to obtain an Associate's Degree than to just go for my certificate in this major? The only benefit I know of so far is that Employers will hire someone with a degree over somebody else with a cert.. But, can you negotiate higher salaries with employers if you have an Associate's. What are benefits to having a degree?
I will not be going for a Bachelor's (too much schooling), so I'd like to know if their are any good benefits, because I don't want to waste my time with these history and composition classes if an AA won't offer any more of an incentive compared to certs.
