Yeah, so this is a particularly interesting situation.
If you go to a four-year college and you're going to a significant debt and you're not necessarily going to get a good job on the other end, you begin to look for alternatives.
And one of the places where these are coming from is Silicon Valley, where venture capitalists have invested billions of dollars over the past decade and especially over the past five years to try to figure out,
what they can teach high school graduates that they will be able to use in the workforce that will get them good jobs.
And the most conspicuous example are these coding boot camps, which are popping up around the country, and there's thousands of graduates every year now, and these kids are often getting very good, high-paying jobs.
And we're also seeing a push from the Obama administration and now the Trump administration to get more apprenticeship programs in line, and this could be an alternative to a college degree.
Thank you very much.

Some folks are going to find themselves.
Some folks are going to understand themselves better.
Some folks are much more focused on their vocation or profession.
Either way, the degree has a value in the labor force, in the marketplace, when you get done.
And this rankings tries to discern what the value is.
Right.
So the outcomes, the financial outcomes of students from different schools were about 40% of the overall score by which these schools were ranked.
So in some cases, the school's
overall ranking was significantly lower or higher than their outcome score.
So a couple of the instances we pulled out were Brigham and BYU Provo and BC, both of whom were very strong schools.
BYU was 113th in our ranking, but it was notable that it was 40th in outcomes.
What that says is that it's a good school, but it's a very good school when it comes to how the students do financially after they graduate.
And Boston College also was very strong, but it was particularly strong in looking at the financial outcomes after graduation.
