Common App: Parent occupation?

<p>My mother earned her degree in Health Science though she works at a near by JC Penney because she couldn't find a job. Should I list her degree or job as her occupation? Also, what would a job at JC Penney fall under for the categories?</p>

<p>Appreciate the help.</p>

<p>They are asking for her job. That’s her occupation. The category depends on what her job is. Is it retail, office work, buyer, management or what? Sorry I don’t have access to the CA to see what the categories are.</p>

<p>She’s a Head Cashier. All other options in the list require degrees. </p>

<p>I narrowed the list down I just don’t know which to pick. Laborer (unskilled), Semi-skilled worker, Homemaker and Business (clerical).</p>

<p>I could of missed one but I’m not sure. Appreciate the help.</p>

<p>Of those I would pick Business, Clerical.</p>
