I remember in undergrad I took a class and the topic of the day was the concept of an inflection point. The way the professor demonstrated it was like this: Based on time spent and potential earnings forgone, a Bachelor's degree is a

Oh geez, I literally thought that it took 14 years of research to come out with some academic research resulting from the 9/11 attacks when I read the headline. I think that's pretty terrible on both the source website and the OP
