College is now being viewed as the only pathway to a better future in the United States. However in this post we are going to examine the pros and cons of a college education.

However a large number of these adults are drowning in debt. The average college graduate is drowning in $30,000 worth of debt. Some of these college graduates are actually drop outs. This means that they are unable to pay back their debts. College debt has become a major cause of concern among most politicians.

Most people that want to seek a high paying job in the e-commerce sector need to first get a college education. These jobs often involve complex tasks such as software engineering and management positions in large e-commerce businesses.

Let us first remember that these are high paying jobs by American standards. A chief software engineer working for a big company in the Bay Area can expect to earn nothing less than $190,000 USD.
