CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“FINE Mortuary College graduates earn $X” — not “FINE Mortuary College makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending FINE Mortuary College 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.
