"Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes.

-Judge Learned Hand, Helvering v. Gregory, 69 F.2d 809, 810 (2d Cir. 1934), aff'd, 293 U.S. 465 (1935)

I'll guess the data is skewed because University of Phoenix caters to people who are already working. Work experience + degree is better than just a degree.

When your tax rate is high enough, it pays to optimize your cash flows to avoid taxes. If tax rates were more reasonable it wouldn't make sense.
