College Degree

I think a college degree is necessary and worth the cost for economic and social success. I think it is very dependent on your major and intended career, but having an associates degree at the least is important in our day and age. 

It has been studied and proven that college-educated workers earn more than those with only a high school diploma. In terms of economical success, having a degree has shown to be financially rewarding in the end. Even though there will most likely be student loans to pay off after the long  and hard years spent in college, the pay off comes when your salary is doubled, or even tripled than that of someone with just a high school diploma.

 In college, you make connections with people that have potential to influence your future. The more prestigious the school, the better connections and contacts you make. College is also a time in which you make long lasting relationships and you grow as a person. This is how having a degree can create social success.
