>>11836531Sorry anon but you couldn’t be more wrong - going to CC may save money but it virtually ensures you will never do anything of value.
Universities aren’t about the quality of instruction, which really varies, there are incompetent CC profs and any class at a CC is gonna be dumbed down with massive grade inflation but if you’re motivated you can learn regardless of the teacher and how much of a joke the grades are. And, in many cases uni instructors are researchers doing the bare minimum teaching requirements for their job, or grad students with barely intelligible English, while CC professors’ main job is to teach and some are really motivated to do a good job.
The point of universities is networking, anon. What you know and how well you know it matters a lot less than who you can convince of your knowledge. The reason attending a university is essential for any STEM subject is to get several years of research experience on very low levels as an undergrad, so in grad school they know you can handle starting out on actual meaningful research.
2 years at CC means you have 4 semesters and 1 summer to do research. Typically your first research project is baby stuff building basic lab skills. So you have 0 summers to work on meaningful research, or at most 3 semesters.
Now, do you think that’ll get you into a competitive grad program over a student with 5-6 semesters and 2 summers of research?
It’s even worse with business- to be considered for a top tier corporate job in anything business related, you need an internship in the field, to get a specialized internship you need to have done a previous respectable internship and if you’ve spent your first 2 years at CC you’d only have 1 summer to do 2 internships. Lol.
Engineering is similar though you might get an internship with great grades + recommendations as a third year without the previous experiment.
Basically, going to CC will permanently doom you to a beta income level
