During her years of​ college, dominique discovered that her three favorite subjects were​ astronomy, chemistry, and political science. She chose to major in astronomy because she had seen data indicating that science majors earn​ higher-than-average wages and because she liked astronomy better than both chemistry and political science. Upon​ graduation, however, she learned that average wages in chemistry fields were 20 percent higher than average wages earned by astronomers. Did​ dominique's behavior violate the rationality​ assumption?

Dominique's choice to study astronomy did not violate the rationality presumption since she favored astronomy, and because, at the time she made her decision, information demonstrated science majors earn higher-than-normal wages.
