Is A Bachelor's Degree Worth it?

I do think that a bachelors degree is worth it. Even if it seems like a broad degree that almost anyone can get, it's a lot better than no degree. This also makes a resume look a lot better when applying for positions at any job. But personally, i would rather get a degree in a specific field of work.  For example, i plan on going into a computer science/programming field, and looking for a job with just a bachelors degree isn't going to get me much results. Most companies would probably reject me on the spot. While it is true that going to college has become more and more expensive, the payoff and feeling of success is greater. It shows a lot in a person that is willing to pay and go to school for so many more years than others. Many people argue that its not worth it because of the tremendous debt that can happen, but honestly the pay off is worth it. Most people that actually have that amount of debt is a result of their own poor decisions such as "absolutely having" to go to their dream school.  In the end, i highly suggest getting a bachelors degree. It will highly increase anyone's chances of getting a better job and as a result better pay.
