Guys I really hate to be a downer, but there really are a few types of jobs where the cc and even the COSC/TESU degree will be looked down upon.
I have seen this under a couple of scenarios, and worked in international medical sales for a long time. There are just some people that have spent so long in top tier universities that they mistake their privilege for something important. I've even seen this sort of thing in the State U frat boy types who just happen to be in leadership (hiring) positions. They don't understand why someone wouldn't go straight to the type of college that they did.
First of all, this is definitely an indicator that you DON'T want that type of job. So I still completely agree with leaving the CC if you want to. But note that school bias does exist in certain locations possibly with potential to see it more in certain professions or select environments. I mean, I'm pretty sure that some of the most elite jobs hire only graduates from certain schools. I have never heard of anyone working at a Deloitte or a McKenzie type or even a Google/Facebook job that comes from community college unless the applicant has some freakish talent and ridiculously high IQ.
So... I guess the point of this post isn't to negate any of the other advice. It's simply to point out that while we all should be VERY proud of our education, there really are places that will still discriminate. Though I believe with all of the student loan issues now, the CC on a resume could even be a huge positive showing respect for personal finances and savvy in finding a cheaper means to an end. Time will tell....
