        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.

              Some people believe the Earth is flat and that Aliens are probing human butts, and they've gone to school!

                        President Trump signs executive order emphasizing skills instead of college degree in federal hiring.

                        Whut? Skillz? Why?

                          Well I totally agree with the concept, I’m sorry but I have zero trust in the federal government to execute.

                            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.

                              But better to fail to execute on a good idea than to fail to execute on a bad one.
