Which statement is TRUE regarding their rates of return on the investment in human capital?
A) Carmin's personal rate of return will be higher than Miguel's, since her employer is paying for her tuition and her time during the training.
B) Miguel's personal rate of return will be higher, since he is sacrificing more to gain the training.
C) Their personal rates of return will be equal, since they have nearly the same skills entering the training program and will leave the program with the same skills.
