OT — Article: “10 Reasons to Skip Expensive Colleges”

[CA renter]

$5,000/year…yes, it’s worth it. As a matter of fact, CC students get priority over continuing students when they transfer for their junior year. IMHO, CC is a winner, all around.

[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.

$4k/year, not $5k/year. $4k is not worth it if you lose a year from your professional career.

Going from your quote:

If you want to compete CSU vs CC WRT cost, CSU tuition is $6,562. Tuition for SD CC is ~$1500/year. That’s a cost difference of $4k/year.

The difference between $6,562 and $1,500 is $5, 062, not $4,000. [CC graduate! 🙂 ]

Still, not sure if you’d actually lose a year from your professional career…some might, but others won’t. Even if you did, you can always work that “extra year” at the end of your career, if you’re worried about not having that one extra year’s worth of income (not sure if that’s what you’re arguing).
