Piggybacking off the 10% of jobs that care what school you went to. Those jobs only care if you went to an elite university. They see some no name state school as equal prestige as your community college. The people considering community college aren't also looking at Harvard.

Community college is not lesser, you can still get a good job, and you can transfer to a 4-year school with significantly less debt than the people who started as a freshman. Heck I know someone who started at community college and got their PhD at Stanford so community college doesn't necessarily lock out the fancy schools.

every year we have to say it

#community college #trade school #gap year #undeclared #transfer #high school senior #college applications #also you can make money with a hyper specific degree that you got out of passion if #you are open to more jobs than just the obvious ones #and you make as many friends as you can while in school #you can call that networking if you like #you need to pick up skills that your professors cant teach you #i know someone who got a philosophy degree and is making $300k as a software developer #he swears the philosophy degree is what makes him so good at programming #you might not be able to get a job youre passionate about if you go the passion route for your major #but youre not doomed to be unemployed/underemployed just because you majored in art history
