But keep in mind that placement stats can, and often are, doctored. Either they are incorrect or they leave out a part of the story. You must always condition the stats on whatever information you can gather. In fact, placement stats are usually already conditional on some -- often favorable -- characteristic, in order to draw your attention away from less favorable numbers. This is the cherry picking Andy is referring to.For example, "of those graduating, X % were placed" or "of those looking for jobs, Y % were placed." A lot of people might pick a program purely because X and Y are near 100, forgetting to inquire, "how many didn't graduate and still got jobs?" and "how many were not looking for jobs, and after how many failed attempts did they stop looking?"
