  I don't think it is bad at all. In my day, going to a community college/junior college was seen as a bad thing as in you didn't get into a university. As an adult, I think that was absolutely an image pushed by the universities. The same classes are offered at a fraction of the cost. If it is a choice between not going to college because of university cost, the same two year degree is available for a fraction of the price. I try to remove this stigma from any college bound age students that will let a boomer offer an opinion. That stigma was even more severe towards trade schools, but I think this is also an egregious label. It's like class warfare bad. Some people just want to know how to do a job to have a career. There is nothing wrong with that, and no shame should be attached in any way. In fact, I wish the concept of apprenticeships were still a thing. There are many very experienced workers that could give very good training to less experienced worker following their trade. I worked with a colorist that had 30+ years experience that had knowledge that is no longer taught but still relevant. I would never go to a school for that skill, but the experience was available and it gave me many more skills than I would have gotten otherwise.
