The students here at Ball State University are all here for one soul purpose. Different to what other people might think, they are not here to socialize and party, but to reach a goal and that goal is to obtain a college degree to become successful. But can we be successful without receiving a college degree? Does a having a college degree guarantee you obtain a better salary? Are we just wasting valuable time and money here at Ball State University? There are many instances where people who have dropped out of college or did not even go to college become some of the wealthiest people alive. On the contrary, there are many academic scholars who strived to reach higher education and because of this, aided them to be successful. Does obtaining a college degree really determine if you become wealthy and successful? This is the question people have been asking each other for many years and it has not yet been answered. There are many pros and cons to having college degree. One of the pros to having a degree is the fact future employers will know someone is qualified. Going through four years of rigorous course work and studies will show future bosses that someone knows what they are doing. Not having a college degree does not allow that and can make employers feel uneasy about hiring them. Another perk to having a college degree is that there are more job opportunities available to someone. They could try to get a job with many companies that require a college degree. Without graduating from college, you would not be able to even apply.
