Some of the crushing college debt could be avoided by going to community college for two years. It may not have the prestigious bragging rights of an esteemed university but it can save a ton of money for higher educational pursuits down the road.

Completely correct. In fact, the University of California system actually suggests students attend a two-year community college first before transferring to a UC school, unless you’re a superb student in the first place.

That’s right, CC is a great way to start. Unfortunately, that’s not what most of these kids were told when they started. They were told to live their dream and to not worry about financing. Also, many parents were too financially ignorant to guide them. Once they realize what the debt is going to do to them it is far too late.
