CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Edge Academy of Beauty graduates earn $X” — not “Edge Academy of Beauty makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Edge Academy of Beauty 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.
