If the options in the drop down are being set dynamically, then you need to
approach this differently. The select may be present, but the option in
that select probably isn't at the same time if the data is being populated
dynamically. You probably need to do something like this instead.
browser.select(:id, "degree_code").wait_until_present
# Even though the select is there, its options might not be populated yet.
Watir::Wait.until{browser.select(:id, "degree_code").include?("Bachelor's")}
browser.select(:id, "degree_code").select("Bachelor's")
