[quote=Anonymous]Apologies that I have not been able to read through the entire thread, but I graduated high school in the 90s and know many people who went to CC because they could not get directly accepted to the state flagship. Back then the path in our state was quite straight forward. There was an established curriculum and a minimum GPA and if those requirements were met, once you received your AA you could transfer as a junior and your credits would transfer. The only downside was that you may not have the pre-reqs to get immediately accepted to the degree program of your choice. The people that I know that have done this are quite successful today.

There was also another group who went to CC from my HS. That group went because they could not think of anything better to do and it was basically a continuation of HS for them. These people were mostly already working almost full time at the mall or chain restaurants. Most of these people did not finish their AA at all or took a very long time to finish and have not had very successful careers.

So CC can lead to very different paths, it’s really a question of goals for attending and motivation. [/quote]
