Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while staying flexible — at just $7,178/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths into higher education. That said, the median earnings of $36,300 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about which program you choose and whether a two-year degree alone will get you where you want to go, or if transferring to a four-year school is part of the plan.
