Bad bug. Colleges are great.<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\"> All</span> of you should go to college and get at least a bachelor\u2019s degree if you can. But don\u2019t fall into the trap of thinking that you have to go to a \u201cgood\u201d school. Community college is still college. I <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">wish</span> I had gone to my to home town\u2019s community college instead of the one I went to. But all of you should go to college because it opens the doors to so many more jobs than you\u2019d imagine.</div></div><br />i understand the purpose of college but that doesn't take away from the fact that its a scam. in my state you can't get bachelor degrees from a community college, only associates. its the same in a lot of other places im sure. i cant do the job that i want to do without going to 2 different colleges. i could take student loans and go to a regular college that specializes in what i want to do and only go to one college but then i will be in debt for the next 10 years. i don't have the opportunities most people do and there are lots of other people like me who don't have those opportunities either. college is not accessible and they make it super hard to even apply for financial aid let alone get into college. all im saying is that they could make it better and more efficient for everyone. especially for the people who don't want to make minimum wage or have to do heavy labor jobs for the rest of their lives. i don't think college is a bad thing but i do think its very limiting and the way it is now is just not helpful", "user": "bug" }, { "id": "1292557", "time": "1685026174", "html": "I'm probably going to get an Associate of Arts degree by the time I graduate high school 'cos of dual enrollment and stuff.

I\u2019m rethinking what I said last night because I have been in school for about 10 years since I finished high school and have been taking out heavy federal loans each time. I\u2019m doing this strictly because I want to though. Undergrad: yes that was because of opportunities. After undergrad: no, that had nothing to do with opportunities.
