Occupation pay is what working welding professionals in Nebraska earn (all experience levels) — school "earnings" figures above are medians for each school's recent federally-aided students across all its programs, which read lower.
| School | City | Type | Net price / yr | Completion | Earnings (10 yr) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metropolitan Community College Area | Omaha | public | $4,982 | 19.3% | $38,773 |
| Mid-Plains Community College | North Platte | public | $5,235 | 41.8% | $40,059 |
| Western Nebraska Community College | Scottsbluff | public | $5,474 | 45.1% | $38,729 |
| Central Community College | Grand Island | public | $7,024 | 51.7% | $39,429 |

Ranking = median earnings 10 years after entry per $1,000 of average yearly net price (methodology). Figures are institution-wide federal medians for each school as a whole — not welding graduates specifically. Schools without both figures sort last — "not reported" means the federal dataset lacks the value, not that the school is bad.
