Comment on MIT: Raising State Minimum Wages, Lowering Community College Enrollmentparent

Comments

Community saved me $100k before going for my bachelors.

Yep, went to CC, transferred to a school a great computer engineering program and saved a ton of money. My mental health got the best of me in high school and I almost definitely couldn't have gotten accepted anywhere if I hadn't gone the community route, so I am super happy it worked out the way it did.

I didn’t even apply to my community college until a few weeks before the first semester. Not sure if I would have went if I had to take a gap year. Probably would be slinging metal in the union right now but sometimes that sounds nicer.
