California Community Colleges train, retrain and offer 60 units that
can be transfered to a 4 year institution. If students come to
college unprepared, they even offer remedial classes so the motivated
can move on.

California's vision was to provide an affordable education to
California residents. It's too bad we've lost sight of it.
Unfortunately, the system is overloaded and tuition is rising.
