In this paper, I argue that the collapse of the wave function is a necessary consequence of its interpretation as a probability amplitude and therefore present in all interpretations of quantum mechanics accepting that minimal interpretation. I give a proof based on three simple axioms that seem to be at the foundation of any rational exposition of quantum mechanics. Some examples of measurement and the ensuing collapse are given, leading to either interference or its break-down. Entanglement is also considered. Moreover, I discuss how a collapse is present even in some of the more popular alternative interpretations of quantum mechanics such as Bohmian mechanics or Everett's many-worlds interpretation.
