[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard from someone (works for a high end consulting co) that said going to community college will affect future employment prospects with high end companies that typically go as far back as the High school you went to when doing their due diligence.  Is this true or was he pulling a fast one?[/quote]

Most college students don't get into the "serious," major-specific coursework until they start taking upper division (junior and senior level) courses. If you end up with a degree in Computer Science, no one is going to care if you took English 101 at Pasadena Community College or UCLA.

Personally, I would be more impressed by someone with a BA from a good school, who started out at some no-name community college and transferred than I would be by someone who went to Philips Exeter and started at that same school as a freshman. I would be impressed either way, but CC student probably came from a more modest background and had to swim upstream to get to the same place.[/quote]
