Fair point. Excel's pivot tables can't easily do medians.

Edit: Actually, it's pretty similar with medians (via Python now).

The bottom 10 are: Drama/Theatre Arts and Stagecraft, Library and Archives Assisting, Movement and Mind-Body Therapies and Education, Dance, Alternative and Complementary Medicine and Medical Systems, Theological and Ministerial Studies, Film/Video and Photographic Arts, Personal and Culinary Services, Other, Music, Mason/Masonry

The top 10 are: Advanced/Graduate Dentistry and Oral Sciences, Nuclear Engineering Technologies/Technicians, Biomathematics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology, Operations Research, Personal Awareness and Self-Improvement, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Marine Transportation, Systems Engineering, Mining and Mineral Engineering, Computer Engineering.

One can enable the Power Pivot addin, add the data into a semantic model and define a DAX measure for the median on it.

The people who collected the data categorised it that way for some reason.

Do you think they included that category in the analysis of bachelor's ROI, which is what you are doing, comparing it to their results for bachelor's.

Like sure, a professional degree in dentistry probably does have a better average return than a 4 year degree in engineering, but that isn't the comparison they made.
