[quote=Anonymous]Best path is to live in a state that values education, has top rated public universities and strong community colleges with pathways into the universities.

California really does it right. It has five UCs in the top 40 schools, another five to six UCs and Cal states in the top 100, and many others with the top 150/200 but with really strong program specialization. Many though not all high schools embrace students taking dual enrollment while in high school which is free to the student. Students can complete their gen ed requirements while in high school cutting years off their four year degree. Students can do 1 year to whatever many they need years in community college while working to earn money and complete their lower division courses. Most Cal states are actually pretty good even beyond the top 5-6 so students can live at home while attending.

The community colleges at least in the Bay Area offer many different paths. There are vocational paths and certifications, combined associate degrees and trades, and represent different industries. You could choose to do a TAP or TAG program to a UC or you could get an AA and certifications in machinery, hvac, contracting, paralegal, vet tech, healthcare, electrical, plumbing, EMT, law enforcement etc etc.[/quote]
