I'm guessing you're not from the US, so, to sum it up. An associates is generally the program that poor people take at their local cc (or sometimes at a cc a bit further afield) that has some affiliate agreement with a larger college. Do your time in CC, get decent enough grades to qualify for solid financial, shoot for a bach/masters at a "real" college.
The one real benefit of a community college -- at least when I went to one a few centuries ago -- is that the smaller class sizes give you more facetime with the professor.
The CCs in California offer a range of classes that go well beyond HS stuff. Where do you live, Florida or something?
