They key is to look into the variables that define that average. 6 figure degrees in nothing where the vast majority of graduates don't find meaningful employability in their field, and no significantly gained income in any field, at ever exponentially increasing prices, tells the real truth far better than a blanket average. Even when someone makes more, plug the actuarials of 6 figures of crushing taken on the front end debt with interest and 4 years of lost earnings into the equation and the results are a staggering indictment of the racket that is modern Big Ed.
Then there's the trillion dollar bailout crisis we'll be seeing soon. That should be fun.
