Yeah. In subjects other than Social Science. How many places have jobs for people with two year Social Science degrees? Besides Best Buy, that is.

Two year degrees have a value in certain subjects. For instance, IT, nursing, HVAC, etc. Usually technical fields. Two years in Social Science? Not so much.

Like I said, you need a four-year degree. But a four-year degree in social science, education or psychology are pretty useless on their own. Almost all of them require some sort of post-graduate work.
But like I said, if it's easy to get the social science degree, get it. Get it out of the way and then focus on what you really want to do. I know a lot of successful people who have undergraduate degrees totally unrelated to what they do now.
I would be interested in finding out what the OP likes to do. That's the first place to start.
