I went to a community college for my first year. It was a bad choice: the financial gains were minimal, the networking gained was lost when I transferred, and the academic environment was very weak (mostly because the normal major was "sex, drugs, and beer", not the instructors' fault). Other people I know have had better experiences at CC. I fully support the idea of community college, in particular, I see it as a righteous place for things like coding bootcamps and trade training in general. Vo-Tech schools get a rough knock - they shouldn't. One particular grief that has stood out to me is the financial recompense for instructing at a CC. I've looked into it (I am qualified to do so), and I believe I would take somewhere around a 40% pay cut to teach at a CC. That's ... suboptimal.
