 @Dashrender said in Just How Hard is University to Overcome: While there is truth there - it's not a fair comparison.. It's likely they spent $100K over 4+ years. So to balance that - you should compare 4 years of salary... But yeah - it's pretty bad! Sort of, but how much you spend as a total is important, that it is over 4+ years makes it worse, not better. Showing it as a total makes it sound far better than it really is. Because as worded, it sounds like it is purely "Buy a $40K job." But in reality, it's "do an unpaid job for 4+ years AND pay $100K while doing that" which is dramatically worse than just spending $100K.

 Hard to believe that it has been six years since I did this study. I saw a great math lesson on Simpson's paradox today that used data showing the dramatic drop in college graduate salaries compared to non-college graduate salaries over the last twenty years as example data. Really applicable to this article. https://www.tiktok.com/@mathisadrag/video/7139948204627545390
