Community college ostensibly for people who don’t have a good track record from High School, but is often advertised as the cheap, local option for people who don’t want to feel bad about having to go.

I did in fact try community college and it’s really just high school material with smaller text. I even took it in parallel with an edX equivalent and the material wasn’t even close to each other. The idea that CC is suppose to replace the first 2 years at a real college is terrifying and reinforces how much of the professional word is theater.

If you do any number of years at a community college, you should be able to apply as a freshman to a real college if you want.

    Hmm. I have a degree from a CC and make good money and learned plenty. Your degree opens more doors and gets more interviews. It’s not true for every single degree, but it is mostly true. And it saves on undergrad in bigger colleges.
