Questions:

• What is the most popular major? Least popular major? Hint: Note that the charts all have different scales. 
• Now look at the trends for each of the majors. If you were asked to write a headline based on the data, what would you write? 
• Is the major you are interested in listed above? If so, why do you think the number of students pursuing this major is increasing/decreasing? 
• Do you have any other ideas on how this information might be displayed?

Tim Ranzetta

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
