I'm not sure what the practical value of community college is. Sending people to school for a year or two to earn credits that may or may not transfer well to a 4 year (aka tuition charging school) seems like a pointless endeavor. And the associates itself- very few jobs require an associates, most that would require one just require the HS diploma so the associates is kind of a pointless degree.

Community colleges have credit transfer agreements with 4-years. If you know where you intend to transfer and into what program, you can look up exactly what you need to take and how those credits will transfer before you enroll. It's not the right choice for everyone but it's a great way for many people to get the first half of college for very cheap.
