The numbers tell a mixed story here — at just $5,761 per year after aid, this is one of the more affordable paths to a credential in North Carolina, making it a genuinely smart choice for students watching their budget. However, the median earnings of $27,700 a decade after enrollment are modest, so it's worth being intentional about which program you choose and whether it aligns with local job demand in the Statesville/Mooresville area. Worth considering as a low-risk, low-cost starting point — especially for students transferring to a four-year school or entering a specific trade — but don't enroll without a clear plan for where you're headed next.
