No you do not. It's a matter of preference. Personally, with the expense of four year institutions today, the community college is a great place to start. It would be much less expensive, better professor to student ratio, more individual attention, smaller classroom size, more family oriented etc. Still, this is just a personal opinion. It's up to you. Do you like being a big fish in a little pond, or a little fish in a big pond? Some students just like that four year institutional environment, but you will pay for it. I teach at both the community college and university levels. In my experience, the students who start at the community college do better in their junior and senior years at the four year institution than those who started at the four year institution to begin with. The foundation you get at the community college is critical.

Whether you actually need an associates degree depends on your overall career goals and objectives and the degree and training required for that specific field. Some require an associates degree while others a higher degree or no degree at all. Thus, it just depends on your specific career choice. First acquire a vision; a clearly articulated picture of the future you intend to create for yourself. It should be one based on a passion for what you would like to do. Once you acquire that vision, you path will become clear.
