Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Motoring Technical Training Institute

Medical assistants at Motoring Technical Training Institute earn below most other Massachusetts programs—ranking in just the 25th percentile statewide despite performing slightly above the national median. While graduates start at $28,146 and see decent growth to $34,134 after four years, they're still earning about $10,000 less than the Massachusetts median of $36,469. Nearby community colleges like Mount Wachusett ($45,300) and Bunker Hill ($44,141) produce graduates earning 30-60% more, suggesting Massachusetts families have stronger in-state options.

The program does keep debt manageable at $9,500, creating a reasonable 0.34 debt-to-earnings ratio that students should be able to handle. The 21% earnings growth also indicates this isn't a dead-end credential—graduates do advance over time. However, with 42% of students receiving Pell grants, many families here are price-sensitive and need every dollar of earning power they can get.

For Massachusetts residents, this looks like paying similar tuition for below-average outcomes. The state's community colleges offer better value in this field, with several delivering $8,000-17,000 higher starting salaries. Unless location in Seekonk is critical, exploring those alternatives makes financial sense before committing here.
