Hello, I recently recieved my diploma for AS business administration. Im currently looking for jobs but I'm having a hard time finding employment perferably work from home. I find that most jobs I find require a BA degree. Any advice besides going back to school right now? Due to finance reasons that is not an option right now

A wfh position will be tough to find if you're looking for decent compensation but I would reach out to your local chamber of commerce to see when they hold their open meetings. Local small to mid range companies would be good to network with and find out if there are opportunities open among them.

Have you heard of Virtual Assistant? With your business administration academics, you could maybe be a “Jill of all trades” for someone’s business - handing their admin duties?
The previous comment of going to the Chamber meeting would be a great idea letting people know that you can take a load off their plate! Remember to bring lots of cards!

I would also check with your county and state workforce development agencies, they often hold networking/job fair events and may even have other resources available.

What jobs are you looking for? Honestly? An associate's a great accomplishment - kudos to you! - it's likely not to be helpful by itself in the long run. Determine what it is you want to do as a career. Are there maybe certificates you could pursue that would get you further along (cheaper option)? Find an employer that provides tuition assistance (not my first choice, because then you are likely beholden to them for a certain period of time). I have an associates. And about 6-7 months after saying "I am never going to school again!" I caved and went back and got my bachelors. And so glad I did.
And everyone wants WFH. That's becoming less and less of an option these days. Perhaps set your sites on something local.

Have you tried your career center at the school you graduated from? They often have a job board of people looking to hire entry-level people with the degrees offered at the institution. It is a great place to start.
