The debate about whether or not college is worth it has been one of the biggest topics in the media for decades. Students suffer a lot from the debt they get from college and also from the amount of studying they do in college and when they graduate they ask themselves "is the degree really worth all the money we paid and all the work we have?"

The average salary of a software engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area is $122,000. And I plan to graduate and then get a job. I won't have to pay off a lot of debt because I won't be taking out any loans during my 4 years in college.

And even if I took out loans, it would be worth it looking at my salary in the
