Cindy, Bob, and Tina are all college students.
Cindy is a music major. While she enjoys composing and playing her own music, she
doesn't have strong ambitions toward having a career. Ideally, she would like to find a
nice guy (but not a business major), get married, move out to the country so she can
have a garden and maybe even a horse, and teach piano lessons out of her horne.
Bob is currently a frnance major, after recently changing from management. (He has
also been a political science major and an engineering major- they all seem cool, but
none of the majors seem to be able to hold his interest.) Besides changing majors, Bob
loves to play club sports, really enjoys going to bars and socializing with his fraternity
brothers, and considers himself to be fairly "hip" and "cool."
Tina is an education major. Like Cindy, she eventually wants to settle down, get
married, and have children, although she wants to work with children as a school
teacher. Ideally, she would like to move back to her small-town horne, where the rest of
her family lives. She often goes horne on the weekends because her strong Christian
religion doesn't condone drinking and "partying."

student most likely belongs
to the "makers" segment?
