College Scorecard. Earnings are measured ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike — not ten years after graduation.

Median earnings reach $62,489 a decade after entry — strong in absolute terms and strong relative to peers. The spread is wide — $34,027 at the 25th percentile against $90,909 at the 75th — so the median hides very different outcomes depending on major and path. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is worth closer to $58,395 — the surrounding area is expensive enough to erode part of the headline figure. Median debt among completers is only $9,500, which changes the arithmetic considerably. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.15 is comfortable — debt is a small fraction of what graduates earn.
