I'm not sure the money is there to chase. I got an associates from a "public county tech", basically a public non-profit variant of the general ITT model, and it was about 1/10th ITT price, even today. The associates degree was worthless in the market by itself, but 56 of the 64 credit did transfer because they worked very hard with the state uni system and one of the local private colleges and accreditation boards.
If you take the ITT story, make the teachers actually teach to the accredited standard such that credit transfers "work", and cut the price 90%, it's not that bad of a deal. With tuition at $3K or so per semester, its hard to accumulate $50K in ITT style loans at a "public county tech" when a semester of school takes about half a year of part time employment at minimum wage...
I would imagine there are places to live without "public county tech" schools, but without educational institutions and other than importing them from us, where do you get your welders and electrician apprentices and similar?
