The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $15,250 median debt is refreshingly low, and graduates earning $46,100 after 10 years suggests solid career outcomes for a technical-focused school — but only half of students actually finish, which is a real concern worth asking about before enrolling. Worth considering if you're pursuing a hands-on trade or technical program and have a clear plan to stay on track, since the affordable debt load and practical curriculum can pay off well for students who complete their degree. If you're undecided or unsure about your path, that 50% graduation rate is a signal to think carefully about fit before committing.
