If you took statistics in college, you might recall that correlation does not imply causation. There's a hidden third set of factors here; your intelligence, wealth, etc. That people who go to college make more does not mean that college means you make more. The way I see it, those with higher future earning potential more frequently decide to go to college.

Also think we are shooting a bit behind the bird to try to make current/future value conclusions on any present data as the value of a degree relative to other options is changing so rapidly.
