[quote=CA renter]As you know, we both agree about the fact that college degrees are oversold — we’d be much better off if we provided a top-notch vocational education system for those who don’t go to college.
You’re right about it being more difficult to get into medical school via the CC route, but not at all impossible.
Here’s a success story (one of many) of someone who did just that:

I agree with you that it’s not impossible. But how many people who go to CC graduate summa cum laude for their BS? BTW, this has nothing to do with my original point that saving from going to CC before CSU/UC is not as big as some believe and might be negative in certain scenario.
