Why must life be determined by the outcome of college when successfulness doesn't always deliver happiness?
After doing a lot of research and reading through my sources, I have come to find that this would be the best research question for my topic. Some people may say that in order for you to be successful in life you need to do well in college and pick a good major that will then later help you to get a high paying job. But does money necessarily buy happiness? According to the science of happiness, people do not judge their happiness on material things alone, so income is not a direct measure of happiness. While some people may feel as i explained above, others feel that it is better to pick an easier major so they could "have fun" in college and really enjoy the student life; this way they would not have to worry about giving up a great deal in their social life. The debate still stands on whether or not people who party their way through college are happier in the long run than the ones who spend most of their time studying and end up having better, higher paying careers. By using studies of success in college and other studies on happiness, I hope to be able to pick a side and be able to argue and make a case for the value of student life and how just happiness may also be beneficial for the future.

OK -- this is more promising -- but I still do not hear specific sources integrated into the discussion. You need to find some key terms for explaining why people who do poorly in college and have less success than those who do well might feel just as happy.
