    I think the job market is to blame as to why CC are considered lower on the totem pole than non-CC colleges.
    Its a fact that businesses will choose a person who graduated from a state school over a graduate from a CC with the same degree, that is, if both candidates were exactly in terms of everything except for colleges. More so if it was between a ivy-leaguer and a CC graduate.

    Its quite sad, really, but thats how it is. I personally have nothing against CC.

    A possibility as to why many people look down at CC is because of the caliber of some of the people attending.

    2 people, IMO, who attend CC:

    1)people who cant afford anywhere else
    2)people who cant get in anywhere else

    Sad, but true.
