Studies and research have shown that five years after graduating, doctoral students make, on average, regardless of streams, around $94,000 per year, so you can see that, in the long term, there is some investment in the skills. They might not necessarily be using them directly in their research, but they have transferable skills and critical thinking skills in starting their start-up or working for a company. The long-term investment is there, and we see our students really having the benefit of learning in school while being a graduate student and then transferring that into the workforce. I think the country definitely needs to expand that, when we look at the unemployment and the labour shortage that we're experiencing.
