Task #2
Portfolio task #2

     Two figures are shown. The first graph shows that there is a gradual decrease in study for career reasons with age. Nearly 80% of students under 26 years are studying for their career. This percentage gradually decreases. This report will analyze the significant information.
               The first graph also shows that study stemming from interest increases with age. There are only 10% of under 26 year old studying out of interest. The percentage increases dramatically from 10% to 70%. Nearly the same number of 40-49 year olds study for career and interest. However 70% of those over 49 year olds study for interest in comparison to 18% studying for career reasons in that age group.
              The second bar chart shows that employer support is maximum, approximately 60%, for the under 26 year students. It drops rapidly from 65% to 32% and then it goes up dramatically to about 44%. The highest level is for those students who mainly study for career purposes.
