starting college

I've been thinking about that discussion concerning college. I think it's OK to take those first two years at a community college. First, it's cheaper, but you may also be closer to home. It also makes a good transition from high school and lessens the shock of going into a big, scary university.

These days, it is easier to transfer credits from a community college. I know a lot of people who did that. One was my son who went to Roane State Community College for two years and then got an engineering degree from the University of Tennessee. I don't think it made any difference.

I also know people who went to several schools and wound up with lots of letters after their name. One guy I know had AA, BS, MS, EdS, PhD after attending a community college and three universities. I think that looks good on a resume'. Now that I look at it, the PhD might have been an EdD. He is a retired school administrator.
