Cindy, Bob, and Tina Are All College Students

question 84

Multiple Choice

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 home.
Bob is currently a finance 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 home, where the rest of her family lives. She often goes home on the weekends because her strong Christian religion doesn't condone drinking and "partying."
Based on the descriptions provided above and according to the VALS System, which student most likely belongs to the "makers" segment?
