Sure but we can derive it.

We'd have to know the answer: on average how many extra years of school does $1B fund?

It still wouldn't be comparable: the 8.8% is from an increase on earnings per hours worked, not an interest-style return on tuition money. You would also need to know what people were making on the job.

Agreed we'd need to figure out average current salary. Any additional info we need to gather?
