I took some over my summer breaks, and it was brought up in many interviews. View is that if you are not ready for “real” college, you are not going to be a serious candidate.
Depends on the degree, but the diploma is not a statement of knowledge, but a brand. People will select the better brands.
don’t = doesn’t
There are times I really hate the auto complete function on my phone.
Depends on the CC, and the courses you take.
Everything I took was directly transferrable at full credit for my engineering degree. Back then (1970s) the prices were different, but not like today.
What WAS different was the quality of instruction. My calculus classes were taught by a guy who drew in multiple colors graphs of differentiation, integration and analytical geometry from a book that was very readable and understandable.
My poor buddy who went directly to the four year school was taught by a Chinese TA who wrote on the board simultaneously with both hands, and whose book was gobbledygook.
Guess who's much better at calculus still ?
The actual diploma comes from a four-year/”real” college ... most employers don’t look beyond that. My cousin went to two or three years of CC and then went to the ‘big/real’ college the last two years - saved a ton of money and I don’t think his diploma from the big college has ever been questioned. Bottom line, you can save a ton of money doing this, especially with ‘prerequisite’ classes.
