New Research: Bottom Line Students Earn More by Their Mid-Twenties

Independent researchers Andrew Barr (Texas A&M) and Benjamin Castleman (University of Virginia) linked Bottom Line’s long-running randomized controlled trial to federal earnings records. By ages 26–27, students offered Bottom Line advising earned 8% more, about $3,700 a year, than similar students who were not. They also ranked higher in the national earnings distribution for their age group. As the researchers put it, “gains in degree attainment are accompanied by higher earnings and improved economic standing.”
