The arithmetic, on County College of Morris's own numbers. Net price $8,895 × 2 years = $17,790 total. Median earnings $50,243 − the $48,360 high-school baseline = $1,883 a year of premium. $17,790 ÷ $1,883 = 9.4 years to break even; twenty years of that premium minus the cost leaves $19,870. Future dollars are not discounted, and the earnings figure blends every major here — your programme can beat or miss it. Full method.
