CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Island Drafting and Technical Institute graduates earn $X” — not “Island Drafting and Technical Institute makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Island Drafting and Technical Institute 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.
