Evaluation
The relationship is not the same as I predicted.
The relationship between my predictor and my outcome are not statistically significant.
My data does not support my hypothesis.
Summary of findings
I found that age does not affect career aspirations.
I think that this means that no matter how young or old you are, you still have pretty much the same career aspirations as other ages. I think it means your career aspirations depend on other factors besides age.
This could be applied in the real world by not worrying too much about if people will change their minds about there jobs, just because they will get older. Maybe people get the wrong idea about people growing out of their dream jobs.
Conclusion
*Test more people over 20 years old.
*Test more people under 10 years old.
*Ask people to list all their career aspirations they can remember and ask them whether or not they think it's changed ( or not changed ) because they have grown older.
*Survey people who have jobs and ask them whether or not they like their jobs. If yes,ask them from what age they have wanted to have that job.
