CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Orange Technical College-West Campus graduates earn $X” — not “Orange Technical College-West Campus makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Orange Technical College-West Campus 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.
