Once you transfer, do you start from scratch?

Let me sum up my argument again, simply, so there’s no ambiguity. I happen to believe that a small, but real, number of employers will respond negatively to transfer students. I do not believe that any applicant will be rejected because he only has a B.A. listed. There is no empirical evidence on this, and it would likely be difficult to produce any accurate empirical evidence. In the absence of empirical evidence, we must rely on reason, and it’s reasonable to assume that listing only a B.A. will not harm an applicant. On that basis, I advice applicants to not reference their time at CC unnecessarily, because I consider it to be a risk. In a poor economy with high levels of unemployment, underemployment and malemployment, applicants cannot afford to take unnecessary risks when applying for jobs.

<p>That was the most well-reasoned thing you stated in this entire thread. I do not disagree with this at all. My entire quibble was that you MAY be overplaying the fear that listing an A.A. on your resume is a risk. </p>

<p>So the bottomline… because of current economic conditions you advise against listing your A.A. on your resume. Whereas I feel that may not necessarily be the case. On that I think we can come to some consensus. </p>

<p>Good luck to you and transferring.</p>
