Ground Transportation at Miller-Motte College-Augusta

This ground transportation program at Miller-Motte College-Augusta shows strong initial earning power but concerning long-term trends that deserve careful consideration. Graduates earn $46,909 in their first year—significantly above both the national median ($41,414) and Georgia median ($37,668) for this field. The program ranks in the 75th percentile nationally and 60th percentile within Georgia, putting it among the better-performing options.

However, the most troubling aspect is the earnings trajectory: graduates see their income drop 16% to $39,461 by year four, which is highly unusual for any career field. This "early peak" pattern suggests the program may be training students for entry-level positions without clear advancement pathways. While the debt load is manageable at $7,875 (slightly above the national median but well below Georgia's median of $9,500), the declining earnings raise questions about long-term career sustainability.

For context, other Georgia technical colleges offering this program show more stable earning patterns, with several achieving similar or better first-year outcomes. Given the robust sample size of 100+ graduates, these trends are likely reliable. The bottom line: while this program delivers strong immediate earnings, the declining income trajectory makes it a riskier long-term investment compared to similar programs at other Georgia institutions that may offer better career progression opportunities.
