What is she talking about? Avoid two year colleges that are almost free? Is she nuts? I would love to debate her. She is giving black kids terrible advice. Two year colleges not only prepare kids for more college, but statistics show every year of school results in higher wages. And employers usually don't give a shit where a degree comes from. And all knowledge helps one survive better. Last, I found no difference in my education in a community college , a state college and a university. I learned just as much from all of them. And she should know most kids from the streets need the first two years of community college to prepare for the tougher competition of a university. Everything from knowledge to study habits. It used to take me a week to write a five hundred word paper. I can dictate it now in five minutes. <<If students’ intention in obtaining college degrees is to change their economic trajectory, build wealth for themselves and future generations, better insulate themselves and their families from economic upheaval and recession, and contribute to the tax base of their towns, cities, and the nation, then they would do well to avoid both for-profit institutions and two-year colleges, and to opt instead for degrees from four-year institutions. However, that is not what is happening.
