About Eolia, Missouri
Eolia is a village in Pike County, Missouri, United States. Eolia was platted in 1881 along the railroad line. The community was named for Aeolus, the ruler of winds in Greek mythology, because the day on which the surveying was done was one of the windiest the surveyor had ever seen.. (Wikipedia)

Is it worth it?
A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.
- Median earnings (10 years)
- $48,581
- Typical debt at graduation
- $9,500
- Debt vs. one year's pay
- 20%
- Out-earn a HS grad
- 58%
Typical debt would take roughly 2.0 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.
A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.
Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
The pay gap here
Median earnings 10 years after entry, split by gender.
Women out-earn men by $3,634 (8%) a decade out.
Federal figures for former students working and not enrolled, 10 years after they first entered. A gap this wide usually reflects which majors men and women here tend to choose — not different pay for the same job.
