Stang Guy is right. A two-year associates degree is not the general requirement. In general a bachelor's degree (4-year) is required.

In my state unemployment is over 11%. It has doubled in numbers in the last two years.

Most of my friends are college graduates, but I have one friend I went to college with who ultimately didn't graduate. He has been unemployed for over a year, despite applying to literally hundreds of job openings.

Having that degree definitely makes a difference, whether you want to go to Japan or not.

I don't understand why everyone has said you can not receive a Bachelor's Degree at a CC, when my own mother did it. :confused: :confused: :confused:

there can never be too many police officers, doctors, ppl in the military and or government jobs, hospital technicians, civil servants. that kinda of job is always needed.

Agreed if you're talking about America.

But I don't think Japan will hire me for any of the positions that you've just said, with or without a degree in Criminal Justice.

Well I must have been mistaken. Talking about college is like a foreign language to me.

So all in all, Mount Olive College would be acceptable in Japan's eyes, MMM?

Yes, if you got a B.A. or a B.S. degree. Associate degrees would not count.
