The chart link above shows my data in a pie chart. I chose to create a pie chart because I thought that it showed the detail of what I was trying to say about my data. I am showing different parts of a whole, I would use a line chart to show a difference over time.
I chose to look at how many people in my hometown (24572) reported having bachelors degrees in 2016, and what the field is. I was interested in learning this since I will soon be able to contribute to this data by receiving my bachelor’s degree. I was particularly interested in how many education degrees there were since that is my major. Surprisingly it was the most out of all degrees.

The chart linked above shows my data in a bar chart. I chose a bar chart so that one can see the two different things that I am comparing along with the total.
I chose to research public versus private school enrollment in my hometown area (24572) in 2016 since I will become a teacher I am interested in where most of the students are and just how many.
