: It's my final project for my computer fundamentals class, what I need is a graph relating to my topic. What's that topic? It's about entertainers from Buffalo, NY. Now I have NO IDEA, how to go about this.
: A graph somehow connected to artists and entertainers from Buffalo. Start...NOW!
Artists & Entertainers Categories: Painters, Musicians, Thespians, Comedians, Performance Art, etc. (I'm not really sure what your focus is as "artists & entertainers" are rather large distinctions). The way to graph would probably be success rates. It could be salary (which would be close to impossible to research), success rate (you could get with some of the guilds in the area, find out their membership, and then graph how many have found success in bookings, tv shows, albums, etc.--this information would probably be available through each entertainer or artist listed in the guild), or even percentage of population (show out of a population of X that Y many people are artists and Z many people are entertainers).
You picked a tuff topic. Define your focus and you'll have an easier time with it.
