Is Attending a Community College a Good Option?<\/h2>

Community colleges offer associate degrees, certificates, and even bachelor’s degrees, yet they\u2019re often overlooked when it comes to higher education options. However, they offer students a great opportunity to earn college credit at a fraction of the cost of attending a four-year university.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In addition to affordable tuition, community colleges allow students to take classes from multiple disciplines without having to choose between majors. Realistically, just how many 18-year-olds fresh out of high school are ready to commit to a lifelong career path? The ability to evaluate different disciplines without breaking the bank takes the pressure off, allowing students to explore various disciplines before declaring a major.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

1.) Steve Jobs<\/b><\/h2>

A true <\/span>academic success story<\/span>, arguably the most famous example of a community college student who went on to become a successful entrepreneur was Apple co-founder and CEO, Steve Jobs. Right after high school, Jobs attended Reed College in Oregon for six months but dropped out before attending <\/span>De Anza College<\/span><\/a>, a community college in Cupertino, California, for two semesters in the 1970s. Though he was only there for a short time, Jobs\u2019 ties to the college were strong. He unveiled his first Macintosh computer on campus in 1984, held Apple\u2019s shareholders conference at De Anza\u2019s Flint Center each year, and his sister worked in the college\u2019s budget and personnel department for 17 years. Today, De Anza College consistently ranks as the top school in the state for the number of annual transfer students to University of California and California State University campuses.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
