What's the difference between a University of California degree and State degree in the working world?

Don't be conflicted.  It's easy...if your primary concern is money, go to community college and transfer later.  Save about 2 years worth of UC fees in community colleges, for real!  UC offers up to Ph.D and State Universities only offer up to Master's Degree.  UC, of course, is bigger and better financial offerings.  If you are going to major in sciences, UC's are better because they have more money to fund researches.  Other than that, the Bachelor's Degree is the same.  One cannot discriminate a person from UC and State in the working world since some perfect A's students go to State just because it is close to home and less debt for college money.  What really matters is that how you define yourself after you get out from college...Good luck with the rest of your quarters...Don't give up!!!...Don't think community college is academically easy too...

It's EXTREMELY important to get a college degree if you want a decent job.  Today's job market is much more competitive than it has *ever* been.  Today, bachelor's degrees are the *standard* (whereas a generation ago, a high school diploma was) for a *decent* job.  For anything beyond a decent job (and by decent, I mean simply steady employment with enough pay to *just* get by), you'll need an advanced degree.

A college of HIGHER education runs studies at the same level as a university, so in the UK the diplomas/degrees they provide are exactly the same.\n\na college of FURTHER education mostly runs courses at A level/BTEC/HND level, which are a lower qualification than a degree, though some do run degree courses in conjunction with a local university. FE colleges usually don't have the power to award their own degrees.\n\nEmployers will sometimes favour a university qualification over a college qualification, though in the UK all HE colleges have had the same status as universities for about 15 years.

A Bachelor's degree signifies that you have completed four years of study at a university with at least one major completed.\n\nIn your Freshman and Sophomore year you have completed your general education requirements that covers english, math, the arts, science, government, history, and much more.\n\nDuring your Junior and Senior year, it is your major(s) and minor(s) that you complete that will be noted on your bachelors.

An undergraduate degree is an associates or a bachelors degree while a graduate degree is a masters or a PhD.  Most colleges, including Princeton, have both undergraduate and graduate programs available.

A Bachelor's degree is just that, a 4 year degree and a Bachelor's degree with honors is the same thing but you get the degree at the top % of the graduating class.

I think it all depends on what part of the US you are wanting to work in. There are some places where you will thrive with the degree and other places you will flounder.

as far as money, in-state is cheaper.\n\nBut if you want a quality education, it doesn't matter where the college is as long as it gives you the education you want.\n\nBut I'm a traveller by nature.  Just be comfortable with whatever you choose.

Degree is better than a Cert.

I can't speak to your main question, but a diploma (or degree for that matter) is just a way of proving you can handle the academic skills needed on the job & have the ability to learn how to do things the way the company wants them done. An experienced worker has already proven these things. Similarly, if you get over a certain number of college credit hours you become a transfer student & no longer have to prove you even went to high school. A lot of home schools students do that because it's so hard to prove you've met state requirements, so they can take dual credit (HS & college) courses at a local junior college & then transfer to a four year school when they would have normally been graduating HS.

It's both, because you could be a professional student!  For some it is a life long career!  Some do get paid to go to college!  Some even get paid to go to high school!  I got paid, sort of!

A computer science degree would emphasis more on the programming side, while a computer engineering degree is more on the side of the whole picture.

i don't think there's a big difference between the two, the only difference is that applied associate degree have more units in comparison to associate degree. which means that the applied associate degree last longer than the associate degree.
