I really wish CC’s would start to cut their non-transferable courses more . Nothing is more aggravating then first taking a CSU only class, since all the other classes are full , and then realizing your going to a UC, and not having 15 units ( SEMESTER, I wasted a semester of my life) count .</p>

<p>Too much money is wasted on crap like Entertainment technology, which amounts to course work not recognized by the UCs .</p>

<p>AND I don’t think any aid should be given for taking non-transferable( as in remedial ) math or English . In fact we could fix alot of problems by not giving students who did poorly in high school( like below a 3.0, ideally 3.25 ) ANY financial aid until after the completion of 30 semester units . That way the money would only go to kids serious about their education .

<p>Something I learned a few years ago (at around age 5) is that it’s not all about me…</p>

<p>You really think having under a 3.25 High School GPA merits denying aid to students? And for a whole year (30 units)?</p>

<p>It seems you’re just angry that things didn’t work your way once you decided you were going to a UC. Many classes that aren’t UC-transferable are far from useless. A couple of schools here in San Diego offer associates that land you some decent jobs. I know students who did well with programs like radiology or child development.</p>
