This review is from: Great Careers in Two Years: The Associate Degree Option (Great Careers in 2 Years: The Associate Degree Option) (Paperback)

As a counselor in a Community College, I found this book to be an excellent example of ways in which our students could use their degrees. Many of the students at a two year college are not aware of what they could use their degrees for and this book helps to make them aware of their options.
