“Hanks recalls taking classes he loved (oral interpretation) and classes he dropped (astronomy) “because it was all math.””
Community colleges serve as “remedial High School” in the years following the dumbing down of K thru 12. Now one can just see MIT becoming a “remedial Community College”.
I got lucky when I went to community college. It was the only place to learn actual skills. I became a certified welder and welded my way through 2 more years of votech community college. Then I learned engineering and machining. AND i learned I don’t want to be a welder anymore. I dropped out of university college when I went broke and refused to go in to debt.
But today it appears that working through college is horrible abuse of human rights and probably racist.
