The arithmetic, on NHTI-Concord's Community College's own numbers. Net price $18,011 × 2 years = $36,022 total. Median earnings $48,943 − the $48,360 high-school baseline = $583 a year of premium. $36,022 ÷ $583 = 61.8 years to break even; twenty years of that premium minus the cost leaves -$24,362. Future dollars are not discounted, and the earnings figure blends every major here — your programme can beat or miss it. Full method.
