You cannot get a bachelor's degree at a Community College. You would have to transfer after your second year of school to a four year college.
If you try to get a job after an associates degree -- it will hurt your chances of getting a good job. After all, someone who gets Cs for two years at a CC gets an associate's degree, while someone who leaves Harvard with a 4.0 after two years has a better education -- but is just called a college dropout.
However, if you go to community college for two years & then go to a four year college & get a degree, then the fact that you went to the CC doesn't matter. In fact, you don't even have to put it on your resume. Just put that you got a Bachelor's from the four year school.

If you are asking if you can get a bachelor's degree at a community college, the answer is no; the community colleges give out associate's degrees, not bachelors. However, you can go to a community college for two years, then transfer to a 4-year college for the final two years, if you take the right classes and do well. I don't know how far along you are in your own education right now, but you seem to be missing some critical information about colleges. First of all, there are huge numbers of colleges that fall in between the community colleges and Ivy League colleges. Then, you don't need to be wealthy to go to a 4-year school. Many students aren't. Thirdly, while you can get a job with a community college diploma, if you stop there you will be limited in how far you can go; many companies and other organizations will not consider people for higher-level jobs unless they have at least a 4-year college degree, so you may be giving up millions of dollars over your lifetime if you stop your education too early. You can get a fair number of sales jobs right now without a university degree; however, most other marketing jobs now require the degree.

Community Colleges usually offer Associate Degrees which are two year programs. Bachelor Degrees are usually from a four year program.
A degree from a Community College is better than no degree at all and will improve your chances of employment over someone with only a high school diploma.
The more you further your education the greater chance you have of getting "better" starting jobs. After that, hard work earns success and develops into a career.

a bachelor's degree requires a 4-year program...so to get a bachelor's degree you have to go to college for 4 years - either at a community college or university. i don't know about new york city, but in my area usually it doesn't matter whether you get your degree from a community college or university. what matters is if you can do your job well or not - so you just have to look at how well you think your community college will prepare you for your future job.
there are usually LOTS of scholarships out there for kids who can't afford college and don't want to take out loans. you should ask at your school or look online for applications. and if you don't get into NYU, you can always apply to other colleges. it's not the end of the world if you don't get into your first choice.

Ashworth has DETC accreditation, so it is recognized in that respect. If you plan on doing an MBA, look for DETC-accredited universities or colleges offering MBA (there are a couple good ones in the official directory). That way, you'll be able to transfer your Ashworth degree in a similarly accredited institution.

You can do anything you set your mind to! : )
Find people who would know the answers to your questions and ask them, and if that is difficult, keep trying. .
Or just give up and accept whatever life hands you. It's up to you.
