Sounds like your problem is more with the education industry than community colleges.
This is a redundant statement. Community colleges capitalize on the bloated nature of the higher education industry. Offering a free year of community college is a bandaid on the toe of a leg that's infected with gangrene.
It sounds like there is an issue with properly educating people on education where you live
You're naive if you think it's just where I live. It's a problem in high schools throughout America. There is a perpetual emphasis on going to college at any cost, because getting a degree will make you successful and rich rich rich! Who cares if you graduated high school with a 2.3 GPA? Who cares if your degree has almost no practical applications? Surely you will find someone to pay you 6 figures for your degree in Gender Studies!
Why do you think that the student loan crisis is a thing? People have been spoonfed for decades now with the thought that getting a degree, any degree, at any cost, will result in wealth and success.
It makes me sad listening to people like you. I can see how I would've screwed myself had I made just one bad choice in my life.
I'm all about personal responsibility, but I understand that not everyone grew up with good role models. ---
