CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

Digital Film Academy graduates earn $X” — not “Digital Film Academy makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Digital Film Academy 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.
