CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Washington Barber College Inc graduates earn $X” — not “Washington Barber College Inc makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Washington Barber College Inc caused. Selection effects (who admits, who enrolls, who completes) are real. We publish federal data with strict descriptive phrasing — and link the methodology where you can read about the limitations directly.
