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