Hindsight

• The majority of the people were sampled at
  Wal-Mart. This presented a problem because
  people were in a rush and didnt fill out the
  survey completely.
• Human error may have occurred. We have no margin
  of error for this.
• Our surveys didnt correlate with Minitab very
  well. A solution for this would be different
  types of surveys.

• According to the general population the majors
  that would be most beneficial to this area is
  Nursing, Education and Business.
