Communications is a good, general degree that is applicable to many fields later.

Business degrees are popular, but I think at the undergraduate level it only make sense if you really know want to go that direction right away… Otherwise it might not be very fulfilling.This is a good example where an MBA later will be the most meaningful — and you don’t need undergrad Business to get into an MBA program. In fact, having a non-business undergrad will make you a more attractive candidate for many MBA programs — because it means you are well rounded.

Political science is a good general undergraduate degree, because politics and an international perspective will continue to be very important in the coming decades. This will be true across fields.

And finally, I think a good old fashioned Humanities degrees, in literature or philosophy, are great thing to have. (I have a fine art degree myself — and have a terrific and exciting professional life since). It doesn’t immediately translate into obvious career choices, but it doesn’t limit you either. It can help you develop who you are, and how you think — what kind of person you want to be, what kind of life you want to live. Which I think is the most important thing you can do for yourself with these precious years in college. You have your whole professional life after that to pursue additional education and training related to whatever career you ultimately choose, later.

And don’t worry about being ‘a little behind’. It doesn’t matter. The only race that matters is the one you are running yourself, not where anyone else is on the track. Good luck on completing your AA!

Also: I suggest you consider WHERE you work as more important that WHAT you do… In my experience, it is far more important to your happiness in life…
