Your task for this discussion board post is to state how you would recode these variables into categories that are more manageable. In your post, you should state what your new categories are and explain your thought process behind your decisions. You should have no more than six (6) but no less than three (3) categories when you are finished regrouping the data.

It is important to keep in mind the nature of what these variables are measuring, as well as make sure you are not losing an important measure/variable by simply lumping everything into one, overarching category.
