Is community college the worst meme on /r9k/ at the moment? I see robots constantly saying "maybe i'll go to community college" or giving advice, telling people to go to community college.
How is community college not just an even more worthless form of a bachelors? No one fucking values a degree from community college.
you don't get a bachelors at a CC. most use it as a stepping stone to transfer to a real college
Community college is awesome. You can either get credits and then transfer them to a university to fulfill your gened requirements, or you can get a 2 year degree that will let you work as a paralegal or something.
The homework load is reasonable, the profs aren't such hardasses, and you still learn a lot anyway.
It was the best time of my life desu.

You go to community college for 2 years to get your gen eds done, it's ridiculously cheaper and the school you transfer to will most likely only look at your community college grades, good if you fucked up high school.

Most people go for an associates, it doesn't cost much, and it's better than a high school degree.

>to a real college
WOW! a REAL college?! with REAL debt???!!! sign me up!
What's the alternative then? Have no credentials at all? Or go 40k into debt without any guarantee of paying it back? CC gets you a job that's not stacking shelves at a grocery store. Not everybody has to be a fucking rocket scientist.

Other than being cheaper CC also HELPS you get into more exclusive schools because you're filling a gap that a freshman or sophomore left behind when they dropped out, and on paper you're a junior

You can study trades, get certs, get an AA, and/or transfer to a 4 year universtiy
the higher education system is a pyramid scheme
