What kind of ceiling do you have above you? V.s. How much money do you currently have in student loan debt?

Again, I used Mechanical Turk for another interesting survey. As explained in my previous post, Mechanical Turk allows for a random sample of people to be surveyed.

What kind of ceiling do you have above you? Do you know if it causes cancer?	How much money do you currently have in student loan debt?

This survey produced some very interesting results for us. We see that most the survey takers are uninformed of the type of cealing they have. Most are not even sure if it causes cancer, including Mesothelioma. For those renting, they may be interested in finding more about the ceiling they have, to avoid an asbestos lawsuit.

If we look at student loan debt, we can see that it's not very common among these surveyers to have student loans that are unpaid. However if they do have debt it is a considerable amount. They could be interested in looking into student loan debt consolidation to help with the interest fees.

As for a correlation between these two topics, I thought it would be interesting to look and see if high student loan's correspond to a non-cancer causing ceiling. It looks as if the results are about even for this. Even with a considerable amount of student loan debt, ceilings may still contain asbestos.
