MYTH #3: No one successful goes to community college.

[CatsDomino]

My sons attended a public high school, and they push four-year colleges and universities very much. They won't even allow community colleges to have a presence at their annual college fair, only four-year schools. My youngest graduated in 2019, and, despite having a local CC campus offering NO COST classes to high school juniors and seniors, many parents and students turned up their noses to it. Apparently, they didn't want the "stigma" of a community college on their transcript to a four-year school.

My family has taken advantage of everything we can for our sons. My oldest son got his Associate in Engineering, landed a well-paying job that is now sending him for his BS, and zero debt for any of it. My youngest took advantage of the CC courses in high school, finished his transfer Associate in Science this month, will begin his junior year this fall at a four-year school, and graduate with a BS at 20. He'll likely graduate debt-free due to his college fund stretching even further thanks to the free and low tuition at his community college.
