I have seen "education level" as highest level completed; but it doesn't take into account highest level incomplete. so where I might be part of a bachelors, I could not say so because I have not yet completed it.

If you are currently working towards a bachelor's, you'll have answered “Student” on the Working Status question.

That makes the data harder to break down; but also someone could be a student + working.

As I suggested checkboxes for that question.

Also what if someone got partway through a bachelors then got a better offer and is now working. the highest level of education /completed/ would not reflect their knowledge/skill.
