Outcomes Overview
Jones Technical Institute graduates enter a challenging financial landscape with median debt of $10,294 against median earnings of $24,576. This creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 42%, well above the recommended 20% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $109 consume roughly 5.3% of gross monthly income. The 37% loan repayment rate signals financial strain among alumni. Most graduates find work in automotive repair, HVAC, and industrial maintenance where starting wages remain modest in the Jacksonville market. The 92.3% employment rate shows strong job placement, but low earnings persist even five years out at $26,634. Despite solid technical training and job prospects, the return on investment remains weak due to the earnings-to-debt imbalance.
