Worth considering if you're looking to minimize debt while completing general education or career training close to home — at just $3,500 in median debt at graduation and under $7,000/year after aid, the financial picture is genuinely low-risk. The trade-off is that median earnings of $31,200 a decade out are modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a targeted vocational program rather than a terminal degree.
