Sounds like a troll thread to me. Don't like artists? An Associates is about overkill. Many go for certs now, though the most helpful for an associates is with animation, or even bachelors really as it's often classified as a science. Animation goes beyond entertainment, and often pays as much as programming, which in a lot of respects it is. Animation is part of my employment skill-set, along with programming, in the field of robotics for real-world experience. Maybe you can take up body painting classes...
