I know that having a degree from a university is a punch on your ticket that people recognize, so it's important you get there, and if a community college is a stepping stone, then all the better. Except for a few specialized areas, most of what you learn about the business world is found in the business world, not in school, so getting yourself through college and out into the business world is an important focus. If a community college helps you do that, all the better. Also, an important point that many prospective employers note is working your way through school. This shows initiative, determination, focus and a can-do attitude. If you have to do this in order to get a higher education that you can afford, then by all means make use of a community college.

I had many of the same advantages by attending a fairly small college and choosing a small major (I was the only graduate in biochemistry). As a result, I was frequently in classes with half a dozen or fewer students, and one good scholarship enabled me to attend tuition free. Still, had I not gotten such a good deal right out of high school, I'm sure that community college would have been advantageous. Some interesting views on community college.
