Community college is what I talk to a lot of my students in class about. Some people only take a few classes at a CC because that is all they need. Maybe they take a couple of automotive classes, or something else they are interested in and move on to the workforce. Some high school students graduate and start at CC and figure out that college is not for them, and join the workforce. Some students like my youngest, go to the local CC, and only take what classes will transfer to a University, then transfer and work on their Bachelor's. One of my son's friends, was sent home from a University and then started at the local CC and he is struggling and may just join the workforce.
I don't think we should look at CC and focus on people who earn an Associates or Bachelors. That is not the only purpose of a Community College. We have a few local CC's in my area and I think they are a valuable resource to residents. Post secondary education would take a huge hit if we did not have CC's.
