Howdy, A few years ago I read in the Christian Science Monitor about a study that went approximately like this:
The researchers compared income of those who had college degrees and evidence of having actually with those who claimed to have degrees but for whom the college had no records of attendance, i.e. phony degrees. They also looked at income of of students who went to college and earned no degree. What they found was that the degree itself had no significant impact, but instead a strong correlation existed between income earned and years attended. In other words, someone who attended for four years and didn't get a degree could expect to make as much as someone who went four years and got the degree as well. Does anybody have any idea who did this study or where I might find it? I've searched CSM with no luck, ditto for google. I don't have access to any academic resources like JSTOR (at least not locally, I have to drive about an hour to the nearest community college). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
