The data absolutely does not say that.
Literally every study I've ever seen done on whether or not college is worth the money concludes that on average, it is and by a large margin
Is there a reason you didn't link to those studies instead, then?
All three of the linked studies only show that those with down syndrome will not go as far in life as those who were born highly capable. Which surprises nobody, but has nothing to do with post-secondary education. There is nothing in there to suggest that graduating from college will cure down syndrome, as neat as that would be.
Lol, dude you have to be one of the more ridiculous trolls I've ever encountered on the internet. Keep up the good work
Religion truly is strange. Now we even have the devout shouting "heretic" when their religion is called into question.
I get why you want to think that your deity creates all people as equals, only differentiated in whether or not they chose to attend college, but that's not how it actually works in the real world. There are huge differences between individuals. Many do not even have the capacity to graduate from college, no matter how much they want to. Those same struggles impact them throughout all of life.
To point out that those with such struggles do not make as much money as those with higher capabilities is interesting, I guess, if not blatantly obvious, but has nothing to do with post-secondary education. Again, there is nothing to suggest that graduating from college can cure what ails you.
Definitely still interested in the studies you spoke of earlier.
