if you decide to get a degree in and then follow it up with a 2 year program at a collage i think you will put yourself in the best case scenario. this coming from a person who is in the system currently, and has looked at all the angles.

There is some distinction between a college and a university in the US as well though it's not, typically, highlighted as much. You will find that, at a college, you can receive a 2 year degree. You can also receive diplomas and completion certificates as well but the Associates Degree is available in certain areas. There are a number of classes that would not apply to an actual degree program and, for which, you'd receive no credit if you transfer to a 4 year University.
However, in the states, the distinction between College and University is mostly semantics as they are often used interchangeably.
