When you can't get CC classes, what's left?

Not sure other states have this problem but here in Oregon, it’s very difficult to get community college classes as a first year student. You are last on the list for registration. so by the time you get your shot, almost everything is waitlisted. Right now I’m on the fence about my son going to a 4-year or 2-year college first, and worried that if he can’t get classes at a community college he will become demotivated and drop out altogether. I’m even considering having him take one CC class per term during his last year of hs so by the time he needs it, he will have a higher priority registration time. Is that nuts?
