Having a college degree and the skill set that comes with it often times leads to the ability to pick and choose career paths. Not only do college graduates typically enjoy a lower unemployment rate, they also can transfer skill sets and knowledge across a broad range of industries and organizations. This flexibility often means that college degree holders have the ability to choose a company or career path they want to be in and not have to settle for the first thing comes along or feel like they are stuck and have no options to progress their career.
