I LOVED my community college!! You should tried what I did. After gone to a junior college with the same feeling you have now, I hated school. Two years in military, four years in minimum wages working sometimes two jobs (that’s 16 hours day), then another couple years as a dead end middle-wage job which was basically laborer as a human mule (mailman, haha). So ten years later, when I got a chance to go back to a CC, it was almost like a life time dream to me. Maybe you should try it too.
