[Quiet Man Cometh]

Nothing wrong with going for a community college. I did that and it saved a pile of money, at least half per semester, and I didn't have to live on campus though that was worth it when I transferred to a University. In the grand scheme of things, nobody cares what your first and second year grades are. Your graduating grades (at least in Canada) are determined by courses in years three and four. Good grades in college will get you into a fancy pants university later on, so it's all good. Employers really only look at where you graduated from, not where you started to get there.

Nice outfit Esp. Didn't expect to see you here. :)

My dad and I split the cost of my schooling, the idea being that whatever I put in, he would match. Any surplus got covered by student loans, which I successfully managed to avoid. Hurrah! That my claim to fame more than the degree. ;). He didnt' care where I went or what I did, so long as I did something. As long as I was savingn for school, I could live at home rent free. If I was working and not doing anything otherwise, I was out of the house in 6 months.
