“Saved tons of money. No #studentloans for me.” 👌 There are so many great Texas community and technical colleges!

Perspective | Community college should be a first choice, not a last resort

A college degree can significantly boost lifetime earnings, but that higher income is increasingly offset by the burden of debt.
