Oh, so smart ones don't just hop right into a university out of high
school? That's a bizarre way of thinking, but if it makes the community
college people feel better, it's ok, I guess.

Well, either way, you can graduate with a degree from UC Berkeley, but
one way you saved $40,000. I think that's what Jim meant by

the community college route. However, those who do are well served by
their self-motivation as evidenced by their later performance at the
university level.
