Earning a college degree is often the minimum requirement for many jobs. It can be an important step in your early career. Earning a degree often provides you with background information on an industry and helps you develop essential technical skills.
Gaining experience rather than pursuing a college degree allows you to begin working immediately. Some types of jobs, such as sales positions or skilled trades, may prefer candidates with relevant experience. You may develop important skills, complete on-the-job training and handle real-world problems.
