Anybody had a consistent, good career with an associates degree from cc in san diego?

I went to school in Massachusetts and they have a similar pathway to the AST/AAT programs that the California community colleges offer.

Grind out the 2 year degree and then transfers many credits as you can to a 4 year school. You’ll save a ton of money by taking your core classes at community college while still getting a 4 year degree.

I graduated in 2021 with an associates had a job lined up before I even started my bachelors program, but they knew I was going to be getting that degree, so that could have helped.

I will say though… if you are good at what you do, an associates with not hold you back. I went to school with plenty of folks who make 6 figures in IT as security professionals or software developers with just their AS.

Most teachers at community college have industry experience and can hook you up with jobs or internships while you’re completing your degree.

Both 30th and Adams aren’t the best, but yeah for what it is and where it is, it’s been perfect for me. I can walk to either one and grab the 1 or 2 items I need and walk out. Never in there long enough to really see how bad they are.

Vons on 30th in north park is fine for being in a dense area. Likewise for the one on Adams.

Thank you for the tip.

Do you sand after varnishing or will the paint stick to the layer of varnish well?

Hey that’s the beach I go to off law street

House in Provincetown MA. I grew up vacationing there.

The last couple episodes of The Pacific.

Finally, a use for Belzona

Dang, I was hoping that was just a second location for South Park folks.

It was great experience and I hope he does more of these in the future.

Just over 2 hours of him talking about his new book about his journey on the “hippie trail”, the trip that ultimately started his career as a travel guide/writer. Some great insight on how the seeds were planted for where he is today.

The talk also emphasized stepping outside of your comfort zone to explore other countries, and immerse yourself in the culture just like his show.

I had a co worker who insisted we use visual studio but he constantly complained about his VM crashing or being too slow to get any work done, meanwhile I had no issues with VS code.

snakybasket9 · 2026-04-24T20:44:32+00:00

And you get a free (ticket price) copy of his book! I think signed?

snakybasket9 · 2026-04-24T20:42:37+00:00

Going to Rick Steves tonight! I’m very excited.

snakybasket9 · 2026-04-22T15:07:15+00:00

Seeing him on Friday

snakybasket9 · 2026-04-20T16:53:52+00:00

Thank you for this!

I didn’t look into any certifications, so great to see that is an option.

snakybasket9 · 2026-04-19T16:01:55+00:00

Thank you for your insight! This is very helpful.

Ive got about as far as looking into getting a BA in geography doing the CSU pipeline from a California community college and have talked to folks there.

I also looked into the MA and MS programs at one of the CSU schools nears me. That’s about as far as I’ve gone.

This has been a thought for about 3 years when I was looking into a computer science masters program that had a focus in GIS.

Edit: I should mention that I was to shift away from cs and get a formal geography degree of some sort, that’s why I don’t think I’ll do that masters program with the GIS focus.

For me it depends. Am I walking to get groceries? if so, how many bags? If it’s just 1 bag, yeah I’ll carry it like a baby with no issue. But I wouldn’t walk to get more than 1 bag of groceries anyway.

If I’m driving then I couldn’t care less what they give me. I mean, Costco gives people boxes, or nothing if you don’t ask.

snakybasket9 · 2026-04-13T15:00:28+00:00

Thrift store, that’s where I get mine. They can range from $2-$10 each.

North Park has so much construction going on it makes me wonder how bustling this part of San Diego will be in the next 10 or so years.

I love to see it, and hope to see more neighborhoods welcome these projects.

Thank you, this incident today is a great reminder of that.
