L. Community College

                One thing that will always really annoy me is when people talk down to community college. Yes community college is very different from a private college, but it still is an education. In many cases it is a better financial decision as well. For example, many degrees won’t offer a job that will be able to pay back very expensive student loans. What is the point of going to school for four years for 60,000 dollars a year when someone will only make 50,000 dollars a year? It is best to look at college and decide whether or not a very expensive school is something that is necessary.  There are a lot of fun experiences and a lot of opportunity to meet people when you go to a big school. But community college could be a better choice in many decisions. A lot of people cannot afford an expensive education. So when kids whose parents can afford to send them to an expensive four year school talk down to kids who will go to community college it is very annoying. A college degree is a college degree. I think more people should consider community college if it offers what they are interested in. Or even start off at a community college and then transfer later on. It is a good financial decision for now and for the future. The amount of money one can save is crazy. ECC is about $4,000 a year where any other school someone could be staying and living at can be very costly. College is a very big decision and requires a lot of thought. It is very easy to be given a lot of money in a student loan, but unless you will be making enough money to pay it off, it is very difficult. Students must start making payments within 6 months after they stop attending school full time. It is very important to plan carefully for the future.
