I went to a community college myself. ($4k for out of state, $2k for in-state.) So I can't speak to the normal college experience. But I feel like, labor studies probably doesn't much exist over here as a major.

I was given an option to join a union when I first moved here but a few months ago a memo went out that, if I understood it correctly, was terminating all unioned employees for no reason.

I wanted to join the union, but I was nervous about it, because this country is very anti-union. :(
