Worth considering if you're looking to start college affordably and close to home — with median debt of just $8,250 at graduation, you're unlikely to leave buried in loans. That said, median earnings of $34,300 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about which program you choose and whether you plan to transfer to a four-year school, since outcomes will vary significantly by path.
