Is it a good idea to stay the community college for 7 years?

No,

Unless you also have a day job to make income and are just learning for the benefits of education.


I myself have gone back to school a few times to learn new and interesting subjects, in and out of my field.

It only matters that you graduate. There are a lot of people with no degree. Remember any degree is better than no degree. You will be able to get a job or a better job. Stay, just graduate.

No, you need to take out loans and get on with the rest of your life. It is understandable to have to go part time for awhile, but it has been too long Either quit or finish your degree.

If you're learning at your own pace, why not?
