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