to pursue or to settle?

Deciding whether to get a bachelor's degree or not is a tough decision for many. A huge factor that contributes to making that decision is the cost of the degree. College tuition is increasing and not many can afford to pay for it. Some students get financial aid, some get loans, some get help from their parents and others have to work two. Those that get loans are left with either a huge or minor debt after they graduate. Because of their student loan-debt, they have to live differently than they had first planned to.  For those who work in order to pay their tuition, like me, are constantly asking themselves if these four years are worth it. I have to work two jobs in order to actually go to school; for me working two jobs and  going to school is very difficult, and stressful. Getting a bachelor's degree was not my plan after high school, but my parents, teachers and counselors all pressured me into applying and into wanting to get a higher education. I knew that a bachelor's degree meant a career with a higher annual salary, but the idea of having more money didn't appeal to me like it did to my peers. Another factor that contributes is the idea of being in school another four years. I do not see a point in being in school another four years for a bachelor's degree, when the first two years are basically what you learned in high school. Why should college students pay for a repeat of high school knowledge? It makes no sense how the last two years are what count towards your degree. A bachelor's degree in my opinion is not worth it. People stress how you can make more money, but not everybody desires more money. A higher education gets a good job but I love my jobs at the moment. I don't want a job that pays more and doesn't make me happy.
