How does the whole college system work? I am planning to go to a community college and maybe major in Autobody Repair & Painting. I think that the degree I would be earning from that would be like an AAS, right? I’m not too sure. But yah, I have a friend that says he couldn’t get into his major at the moment so he is currently going for his liberals. What is a liberals degree good for? How many credits, or how long would it take to this? Or how does the credit system work with math, english, and all those other classes?
How To Earn College Credits For Liberals Degree?

Liberals usually requires math and english, but depending on your field of study it could be different, autobody repair probably requires science class also. I’m sure if you go in to see your college counciler they would be more than happy to help you set up your classes! Not sure what you mean about the credit system? Most classes are a half semester long (either fall or spring), each equalling 3 or so credits, and you need a certain amount of credits to get your degree.
Good luck! :]
A liberal arts degree is useless for what you intend to study. Liberal arts are essentially the first two years of a Bachelors degree. Get a Lib Art degree if you intend to go to University, and earn a degree. If you want to learn about auto body painting, I wouldn’t recommend a community college at all. You should be able to find a trade school in your area that focuses on applied degrees. Technical Schools and Trade Schools have a much more hands on curriculum. You will actually be working in an auto shop, or at the least on a computer simulation, to help you get hands on experience. In addition, at a trade school, you will be far more likely to get referrals or job offers.
I think you are referring to a liberal arts degree, which is basically a degree that does not set up up for a specific job unlike engineering or autobody repair and painting like yours. The degrees are like History, English, Philosophy, stuff like that. If you want to do autobody repair/painting, I would not even consider getting any liberal arts degree.
I just found your site on Yahoo. Good article. Thanks for taking the time to share this.
