Pretty much any job in psychology, education and similar will definitely require at minimum a 4-year degree, often more. As you say, a teacher's aide or maybe day care position wouldn't, but there aren't going to be advancement opportunities. I did work as an aide in a program for autistic kids for several summers during college and they only seemed to care that I had a high school diploma. I have a few friends that studied psychology, but they all needed to get a Master's or do some other specialized training to find work in the area. For example, one friend is a psychologist in the family courts and she had to take several post-graduate certifications.

I did a bit of searching online and if you want to do an associate's program, with the experience you have maybe one in an area like business or bookkeeping would be an option. It sounds like you could go into positions like an office manager, marketing assistant, certain jobs in banks, etc.

Are there any career counseling services in your community you could talk to - possibly where you studied the credits that you currently have?

Good luck!
