Ditto’s.

I did my first two years of my accounting degree at a community college. The business professors at the community college were all actively working in their respective fields, attorney, CPA, etc. I learned more practical stuff that had more lasting value from them than I did from the 4 year college.

I concur.

I'm gonna “ditto” your remarks as well. Got my 2 year associate's degree from Florissant Valley Community College in St. Louis. That transferred to University of Missouri-St. Louis and finished my 4 year business degree with a major in Accounting. Best thing I have ever done. The teachers were all “adjunct” professors; did not have teaching degrees, but were professionals in their fields and that proved to be priceless.

Long story short, went on to a Master's. BTW, the companies I worked for during that journey offered tuition reimbursement. If you work for a company that offers this —TAKE ADVANTAGE!! No one can take away the knowledge and education you get once you have it!!

My husband got out of the Air Force and went to Barstow Community College in Cali. He was turned down by a 4 year university because he was a HS dropout when he joined the USAF and got his GED. They determined he should try CC to see if could hack that before going to 4 year Uni. His story is he got is AA in Mathematics, transferred to UC Riverside and got a 4 year degree in Physics; then got a Master's degree in Mathematics, and a PhD in Computer Science. The first 2 degrees (AA and BSA) were through the GI Bill, and he got his last 2 through work that offered Tuition Reimbursement. So, all our degrees were “pay as you go”

Before he got the PhD, he worked as an adjunct Prof. at the same CC I went to as a “Math” teacher and taught several semesters before we moved to Virginia. He loved the experience and his students. Win/Win all around!
