There is a very obvious correlation vs. causation counterargument that you need to address.

  The point of providing those links is that a basic look at the data provides no support for the hypothesis that higher education is a scam. I was responding to someone who, without evidence, claimed that an unbiased look at the evidence would show the opposite. There's a massive academic literature on the topic that finds the same thing.

    The problem with showing graphs that college degrees being correlated with higher income is that it's still what you'd expect if higher education was a scam. A useful graph would show data that is different than what you'd expect if higher education was a scam. I think it's generally understood that "top" schools merely select the best students, they don't create the best graduates.
