My topic is if college degrees necessary.  Ever since the elementary school days college seem like the dream thing to do once you graduate high school.   Being told over and over that most jobs are going require at least bachelor degrees.  It even has been incorporated into everyday media in movies such as the disney's goofy movie.  My argument is that a college degree necessary to succeed in life and do you need it to achieve a happy lifestyle.  Having a college degree lead to more pay and a higher position then the employees that do not have it.  But on the other end when you come out of college you are in debt due to student loans and there is no guarantee you will have a job once you achieve your degree.
