Agreed. Community college probably lifts up & allows people to better themselves more than most 4 year universities.

My dad put himself through community college then did 2 years at a university with some work in between. He was the first of his family / only one of his generation to go to college.

These days given cost & competition, most people going to a 4 year university come from a family that has already done the same and is following the prescribed path.
