Honesty policy: school net price, debt, and 10-year earnings come from our College Scorecard snapshot (data/colleges.json). Field overlay uses Scorecard Field-of-Study program medians. Trade wages appear only when cited to BLS OES (electrician / plumber on-site). Cells without public data render as — . Figures are estimates for research, not personal financial advice.
