College Scorecard reports earnings 10 years after a student first enrolled, not after graduation. The sample includes only federal aid recipients and counts non-completers alongside graduates, which can pull the number down at selective schools where many students never borrow. Treat it as a conservative floor, not a forecast.

A different measurement than the 10-year headline above. These are early-career numbers for students who finished the degree, 1–2 years out — they tend to read higher because they exclude non-completers and are measured right out of school.
