The headline: Downturn causes students unease over degree choice.
The data: 8% of a sample of 357 final year students "wish they'd chosen a different degree given the current economic climate". 4% of a sample of 1,041 students of all years.
If this headline were honest, it would be 'Downturn causes small minority of students unease over degree choice. More than 90% still happy.'
Don't mess with statistics.
