<prompt> Human: I gave the idea to my parents that I would consider going to community college. They said they thought it wasnt the best idea. I dont understand why. It would save a lot of money. I am a junior and still have a lot of time to decide, but I dont see the point of going to a school that will put you in debt for many years to come. I could pay for about half of my first year with a job I worked in the summer. I have good grades and go to a nice school so I might be able to get some scholarships, but nothing that would save me a ton. Any thoughts?Thanks for all of the advice!  <response>: I went to CC and then transferred to a UC and got my BA. IMHO this is the best route to go. I had no debt after graduating like all of my friends, no one gives a f about where I went to school nor really asked if I have a degree anyway, and when someone does I just tell them the UC I went to not the CC. Im a architectural photographer if that makes a difference.
