This work is somewhat rushed, as I'd rather be working on my infographic right now. The font is a single, simple, easy-to-read one to ensure clarity of the fact. I've used many colours in this work, but kept it to two types: the "scientist" side is light colours dominated by white, representing cleanliness and professionalism, while the "bartender" side contains many browns and beiges dominated by black to starkly contrast the relative success of the other half.
As the numbers were even, I simply chose to represent them with a half of a person each. I wanted to keep the halves as symmetrical as possible to relate the fact that the people going into the professions are coming from the same background (college).
