Study saying for-profit certificates not worth it
#1
Of course we at DegreeForum are aware of how the high cost traditional education can be avoided. I still thought this might be of interest. I picked out a few quotes.

https://www.educationdive.com/news/for-p...at/516858/

Quote:The study examined 14 years of earnings data for over 800,000 federally aided certificate seekers, assessing factors like employment and earnings.

Quote:Key takeaways include that for-profit students are 1.5 percentage points less likely to find employment after graduation than their community college counterparts, and their earnings are around 11% lower in about 75% of all fields.

Quote:even found that if the choice came down to students gaining a certificate from a for-profit or not pursuing a certificate from a college at all, they may find higher returns skipping the enterprise

I'm going to say that it might be correlation rather than causation. People who go to for-profits might be more apt to be lower-income in the first place.
