Yeah one thing I've learned is what Eric said... the diploma is the same color. Lot's of people say that if you've graduated from some big top university that everyone knows about, than you're more likely to get hired somewhere. That's not always true. As long as the college is accredible, than you're good to go. That was one thing that I was really worried about when I first joined the military. Being that I move around so much, I never really knew where I was going to end up graduating from. Just make sure that the next college you plan to go to accepts the credits you are taking at the community college now. Don't make plans around your girl though. If you have something that you want to accomplish, don't base it on anything else but yourself. If I would have stuck around because of the boyfriend I had for 4 years in highschool, I never would have the career or husband I have right now. It was hard to leave, but think of it this way, if him and I were meant to be than it'll happen later. Accomplish YOUR goals for now.
