No one really answered this...

There's a small @ss private community college out in the middle of nowhere here in NC, and if I must I would attend there and get some bachelor's degree in something (just to have a degree) But I have no clue if it's "nationally accredited" or not. Anyone know? Yes, no, maybe, probably. I know nothing.



I don't read the NYT, I don't know how 8.5% of unemployed people in America survive...
One of the defining features of a Community or Junior college is that they don't offer bachelor's degrees. They only offer associates degrees. So no, a degree from a community college generally wouldn't be enough to get you into Japan. However, if properly accredited you can transfer the credits or degree you earn at a community college to University and ultimately your bachelor's degree will be considerably cheaper and you might finish your bachelor's degree up to a year earlier. You should also look at earning college credits while still in highschool. This has become more common around the US and typically the credits you earn are free or at a greatly reduced cost
