i like your reasoning. also i think having a company that allows for unions is better. people with higher degrees often get paid more so that is why i want to go for my doctorate degree. i hate it when people think my life or career is “cursed” b/c i decide to go to a community college to get the intro courses out of the way. i know community colleges have smaller classes and less course selections and most people don’t think they are good academically so they think that will ruin your career. yet transfers of two year colleges have a higher chance of acceptance and have a better understanding of college life after being at a community college. there are people who judge the person whose on the outside and think that i’m a stupid person b/c i’m taking the first two years at a community college. yet since i’m in the top 15% of my class and i have a lot of school activities i get a free tuition at community college. i know whatever happens in my life, it doesn’t matter what the critics think since the more they think something, the more i want to antagonize them and do the opposite of what they want. i won’t be told what career i can’t go into or what i can and can’t be b/c i’ll do what makes me happy. does it matter that i’m not very mechanical minded or that i’m not the best test taker? i have other talents and i will make them work for me. “let this earth angel unfurl her wings, awaken the fire in her heart and light up the world with her authentic voice. for as long as i’m still breathing and my mind keeps thinking, this earth angel is going to follow her heart home.”

Benefits of Community College:
Affordability: In 2008-2009 year, the average annual tuition for community college was $2,402 which is about $4,000 less than a four-year college.
Location: nearby your home so you can commute back and forth
Flexibility: There may be multiple sections of the same or similar course offered at different points of the day to accommodate a busy schedule. At four year colleges, most classes are offered during the day with a few night classes.
Generally Smaller Class, So Better Teacher Interaction: You can have greater interaction and discussions with the teacher helping you to learn better than at a four-year college which has lots of students.
A Time to Adjust: You can live at home and be a part-time or full-time student. Community colleges give students a chance to adjust to being independent without being too far from home.
A Second Chance: If you do well at a community college, it shows that you have work ethic and increases your acceptance as a transfer to four-year schools. Even if your grades weren’t optimal in high school, you can have a second chance at community college.
Possible Disadvantages
Make sure the credits you take are transferrable to the four-year college.
The lack of on-campus housing makes playing sports and extracurriculars challenging.
There may be a lack of resources for in depth research since they have smaller libraries than regular universities which receive more funding.
I know I’ve heard people say community colleges don’t show academic potential since anyone can get in, but they also give a chance to get the intro courses out of the way. Also if you have a good gpa and class rank, there is a good chance that you will get a tuition scholarship. At community colleges, they can explain certain topics more clearly since they have a smaller class so the students may be better equipped for a four-year university when they transfer.
