Yep, right on Jenn.

Breeze through the basics at a community college to save some money, then transfer to a University to finish your degree. Generally, a degree is a degree.

However, there are SOME cases (very few) where the University you graduate from may break a decision a hiring company may have to make that could (or could not) be in your advantage. Like, for example, if you majored in LAW at a local university/law school you'd most likely get passed up for a job over some dude who graduated from Harvard law school.

Other than that, a degree is a degree.

PS - Nowadays, in my opinion, degrees arnt worth much unless you are looking for a major corporation type job. A lot of folks are getting in good with companies that promote from within and just working their way up the ranks... where a degree is not required. For example, valet companies are big nowadays (for hotels). As long as a person has a good driving record and is over the age of 18 they can apply as a valet driver. Valet companies only generally promote from within. And, if you're young and willing to move anywhere around the country, they will promote you and take care of you. I started as a valet at the age of 18, became a supervisor in 4 months, manager in 8... moved around the company as a salaried manager opening new hotels for a while.. by the time I was 23 I left the company making a salary of $62,000/yr to pursue my own business. Even though I wasted a lot of money pursuing my degree because I kept moving (not all credits transferred) I still got my degree and havent even needed it.

Good luck!
