Associate of Arts (AA), or Associate of Science (AS), or Associate of
Applied Science (AAS).  Many go on to a university for two more years to
earn the BA or BS.

 BS> You need to teach many in one hour?

No.  We need to teach SOME physics to a larger fraction of the general population.

 BS> Ok, in buisness where they need physicists, they want them as

It's not so much a need for physicists as it is a need for people in other
professions to know SOME physics.

Most people in America, regardless of their level of education (high school
drop-outs, Ph.D.'s, and everyone in between) have never had even a single
course in physics.  And they probably never had a teacher or professor who
had taken a single in course in physics!
