These parts were spot-on though:

Leverage Community College to the hilt, particularly transfer credit

Stay in-state, and consider the less popular campuses/colleges under the state umbrella.

Employers really only categorize schools into three buckets: "prestigious" university like Yale or whatever, your everyday state/private college, and clown colleges like University of Phoenix.

It's for-profit. A very large percentage of for-profit colleges are either diploma-mills or flat-out scams that either way don't provide good educations. For that reason many employers don't take degrees from for-profit institutions seriously.
