This is dumb. There's maybe a $50/wk difference in average income between the two groups (2 years, no degree, and 2 years, Associate's). Not sure why we think a kid who left Harvard without a degree after 2 years to start a computer company should be disadvantaged compared to a kid who went to Houston Community College and got an AA. I'm not trying to put down CC's, btw, just pointing out that it's not as clear-cut as it seems.

As for accredited v. non-accredited, yeah, fair enough.
