My son's teacher this year is a young attractive newly wed.
All I can think about is "please please don't get knocked up and take maternity leave in the school year" because this will be the third year in a row now. Dealing with subs, permanent or otherwise, is a pain in the ass.
Pretty sure a guy tried to brake check me today.
He's a douche, he can't change that.

It being too difficult for you does not mean it's too difficult for others.
I'll be the unpopular person with a reality check here, I'm comfortable with that role. First of all community colleges are extremely useful for practical purposes and workforce degrees. I myself have used them and know exactly when and why they can be excellent. For example, when I needed a refresher prior to a language re-certification or an OSHA course for work. But please don't compare a community college to a four year school for higher education. Within higher education, academic excellence is peer reviewed. Among the most well respected peers, leaders in individualized fields emerge. These leaders build specialized undergraduate and graduate degree programs that educate and deliver professionals to extremely competitive corporate, government and transnational programs which in turn builds competition between organizations and governments for new products, services and methods worldwide. I hope through deductive reasoning you are able to understand that this environment of competition has give us a deserved rating system for colleges and educational institutions. Optimistically their research programs give them these numbers. (Realistically also the alumni they have produced, sports teams etc) It may seem unfair but it's just the way things are.
That delineates my preface for the following: At this point I've attended four area colleges and I can give you the best objective opinion you are going to get. Pursuing a community college education, although admirable, will rarely be equal to a four year education in terms of work load, respectability, professor accountability and most importantly graduate student research grants (which in turn build reputation of the school and increases the work load for everyone related). A (non-workforce) degree program requires absolute dedication because with bad grades you're not competitive in your field. And if you have good grades with minimal effort you're picking up internships left and right for prestige and experience. Every decent job worth bragging about deserves the same but replace internships with networking and partying. The only wiggle room I can see is in the case of the job and the school subject matter being the same thing exactly. If you have an alternative opinion please explain.
