[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. OP stole this from

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/16tenex/revealed_employer_preferences_in_t50ish_colleges/

2. It's College Scorecard data.

The College Scorecard dataset only considers data from students receiving federal student aid.

Several groups are left out,
including undocumented and international students, 
on top of those in more financially advantageous situations

It also doesn't consider cost of living in the area of employment. [/quote]

Yeah this data is not really worth discussing.[/quote]
Not really worth discussing? Other than the literal majority of American households who qualify under this umbrella.[/quote]

“Literal” and “majority” do not mean what you seem to think they mean. A literal majority of American households do [u]not[/u] fall under this umbrella.[/quote]
You don’t think a majority of American households qualify for any financial aid?

Yeah, sure. Stay in the UMC bubble.[/quote]

I don’t think a majority of American households go to college. So, no, this isn’t applicable to them at all. Let alone the half that do go and don’t get federal aid. And that’s probably an even greater share for the limited group of selective, expensive colleges listed here.

So, no, it’s not worth discussing, and especially not for a literal majority of American households.[/quote]
Knowing that these are the type of people on the forum, who can't see outside of their bubble is disconcerting. More than 50% of Americans are going off to some college these days.[/quote]

Only if you include community college (which this list has nothing to do with). Fewer than 50% go to four-year colleges. And that’s only of recent high school grads; plenty of households don’t have children in them at all, or people who don’t finish high school. So not a “literal majority.”

I get that you keep trying to make a point about a bubble, but you are clearly unfamiliar with the actual numbers, whether it is who is going to college or how many are on federal aid.[/quote]
