[quote=Anonymous]I went to a top 25 university for my first year of college. Bailed on that after only getting a 1.7 GPA. Long story short, maturity and a failure to thrive independently were my downfalls.

After dropping out, I enrolled in CC, but I was deliberate with my actions while I was there. EVERY course I took at CC transferred to state schools. 2 years there with a 4.0, then 2 years at the state school (also 4.0), and nobody has ever asked me to provide info on every college I attended, only the place where I graduated from.

Now, 6 years later, I work for a financial services company, I've gotten promoted every year, and I have a wonderful wife, kid, and house. My wife also went to a poorly ranked state school, and even after getting only a mediocre GPA in college, she's pulling in six figures in her own career in management.

It's far from the end of the world, just make sure your child defines the end goal with attending CC. Plenty of folks fizzle of CC not because of the rigor, but because they're not motivated to get it done.[/quote]
