Worth considering if you want focused, hands-on technical training and a clear path to a trade career — graduates earn a median of $43,500 ten years out, which is reasonable for skilled trades work. The relatively low median debt of $11,250 at graduation is a genuine plus, meaning you won't be buried in loans.
