Education is very important, and community college offers that for low costs if not free. Even going through college, automatically gives you a greater chance at succeeding in life if you were to pass it up. It will benefit you in the long run, and once you have a well-paying job, that low income may change.

federal free college proposal found that families from the top half of the income distribution would receive 24% more in dollar value from eliminating tuition than students from the lower half of the income distribution.

Free college tuition programs have proved effective in helping mitigate the system's current inequities by increasing college enrollment, lowering dependence on student loan debt and improving completion rates, especially among students of color and lower-income students who are often the first in their family to go to college.
