A lot of community colleges consist of just teachers, being disconnected from the need to do research. All they do is teach, and often just have a masters. I've usually also found they are significantly better at teaching their subjects than universities, especially in mathematics.
- blahedo 16y agoAh---this is true. However, most community colleges do not have computer science programs, and many that do have it as a one-class-per-term appendage off another department (usually math). But for people in other fields, community college[1] does indeed often pose an opportunity for "just teaching" at the post-secondary level. [1] which non-US readers might call simply "college"---a typically two-year program, post-secondary, often with a large number of vocational programs but usually also teaching a general education curriculum that might enable one to transfer into the second or third year of university.
