>[S]tudents sort themselves into 4-year schools, community colleges and for-profit schools in descending order with respect to students’ cognitive skills. We can then reasonably assume that the quality of these schools is commensurate with the corresponding students’ cognitive skills.”

It really doesn't matter. College is a sham.

Several factors important to a student’s college choice were not included in the model: college finan-
cial aid, choice of major/occupation and college characteristics. There is no detailed information
available on financial aid offers in the datasets used. Also, the structure of financial aid packages
and aid uptake rates differ across for-profit schools and non-profit 2-year and 4-year institutions.

Conclusion
>Undoubtedly, we are in desperate need of quality data that can deliver adequate random samples
of for-profit students representative of the entire U.S. for-profit student population. A proficient
and current evaluation of for-profit training will need to account more fully for both student and
school heterogeneity to formulate a competent set of policies. Present data provides neither sample
numbers nor the necessary detail to accomplish this task.
