Computer Engineering Technologies/Technicians at Florida Career College-Jacksonville

Florida Career College-Jacksonville's computer engineering technology program stands out for delivering solid outcomes at an exceptionally low cost. With median debt of just $10,813—placing it in the 5th percentile nationally for affordability—graduates enter the workforce without the crushing debt burden that plagues many technical programs. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.46 means students can reasonably expect to pay off their loans within two years of graduation.

The earnings picture is respectable, with graduates earning $23,458 in their first year and growing to $26,890 by year four. While these figures rank at the 60th percentile among Florida's computer engineering technology programs, they represent the national median for this field. The 15% earnings growth over four years shows steady career progression, and the robust sample size of 100+ graduates makes these numbers reliable.

For families concerned about educational debt—particularly relevant given that 74% of students here receive Pell grants—this program offers genuine value. The low debt load combined with steady earnings in a technical field creates a manageable pathway to career stability. While graduates won't become wealthy overnight, they'll have marketable skills without the financial stress that often accompanies career training.
