Comment on Gen Z job crisis: Maybe there are just too many college graduates now
NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 1 day agoTo add on to the community college bit:
Nobody who cares about what undergraduate university you went to actually cares. As long as it was an accredited program for the last year or two, you are good. And those who claim to care actually just care about who you networked with.
Things matter more for graduate school. But for undergrad? Save your money and do the first year or three at community college.

Since we’re plugging community college more, I’d also like to add that quite a few community colleges offer bachelors degrees now! Many of these are a small fraction of the cost of a traditional 4 year school (even far cheaper than 4 year state schools from what I’ve seen).
I wish these were a thing when I got my Bachelors degree.
Here’s an example of a Bachelor of Applied Science, Electrical Engineering Technology for less than $12,000 in tuition! (tack on another $2k for books I’d guess for 4 years), but $14k for a bachelors is damn cheap!

Search your state to see what schools near you offer these and in what programs:

I would still make sure to verify they are an accredited program. The bar is REALLY low but it is also a super easy filter.
