Not everybody can afford or has the high intellect to make it to a major university, and there is no shame in that. I got my degree at a trade school and personally, I would suggest that everybody wait to know what they really want to do before feeling pressured to jump right into a university. Then again there are community colleges and a lot of great ones offer.

Lots of different programs to help you succeed and get a career. Public two-year higher education institutions have a lot to offer, including undergrad programs like associate degrees certificates, or diplomas. Many people prefer the community college atmosphere as opposed to a major university.
