When I was in Community College back in 2010, absolutely nobody wanted to be there.

When I was in Community College back in 2010, absolutely nobody wanted to be there. I didn't understand why the experience wasn't the same as portrayed in the movies. No dorm rooms, crazy parties, or bonding with other students. You were either there because you were stuck making minimum wage, to transfer, or because you were in trouble (a lot of kids made some deal with their parents or parol officers). You got in, and got out. I only stopped going because I got an awesome job at a startup. Just recently went back to Community College, if nothing more than to say I've a degree too. It still feels a little silly though. I've been programming for years, and I still have to take "Computer Programming Fundamentals", which is a waste of time, and money out of my pocket. Oh well.
