Welp, looks like I'll be getting my Master's Degree.

I wouldn't be completely surprised if a PhD didn't decrease your chances. It would be interesting to see the data with and without MBAs.

Looks like there are some correlations that require extra exploration in there, too. For example, at what age are you most likely to com into a large inheritance, and how does that correlate to education? Not that I don't think that education doesn't increase income; it certainly does. But I would posit that being white correlates to larger inheritances, given that white wealth is much larger than black and latino wealth.
