CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics graduates earn $X” — not “Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics 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.
