The reason i am asking is because, my brother is attending Florida CAreer College… I believe it’s non accredited, yet they offer an associates and bachelors degree. How legit is this?
And if it is legit, why do people say a non accredited school is a waste of time and money?

I found that it is accredited

Florida Career College Accreditation
Accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) to award diplomas and Associate of Science degrees. The Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools is listed as a nationally recognized accrediting agency by the United States Department of Education.

If that particular accreditation allows for transfer of credits to a university is another thing.

Yes, they can offer you a degree, but it won’t be worth the paper it is printed on as for applying for jobs or special trades. Without accreditation, the document holds no value other than perhaps an internal pride that you accomplished something.
