All in-state Universities (ASU, NAU, UofA) have transfer programs to make sure your credits transfer over correctly as well.

Or...pay through the nose for that "college experience"?

As far as the OP's question of employment...it really depends on what the kids decide to get their degrees in. There was a report last week that AZ surpassed CA and TX as the fastest growing economy due to Financial and BioTech jobs. I can't find it right now but I think I heard that on KTAR...
This is from a couple of months ago.

My son did 2 years at MCC and is now at ASU. It's working out great for us since he commutes anyway. True they miss out on some of the college experience but both he and I will be in a much better spot financially and he'll have a degree from ASU. Makes a lot of sense for most people imo.
