I'm afraid they won't consider me because they will think that I am overqualified.

Yes it is, but why would you? You could always put "Willing to discuss in interview" on the salary requiremtments. You could also put down your relavent KSA (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities)
and downplay your college degree to help you get the job. I'd be proud of my accomplishment, especially with a college degree.

Yes, but, if you get a job you are really overqualified for you might be a poor fit and find it boring and unchallenging. You'd probably be better off putting it on anyway and then the people hiring can see what you are about and try to make a good fit for the position.

I hate that lame excuse. What difference does it make if I'm overqualified as long as I do the job correctly and efficently?
Anyway: I would say it's okay to, but probably not the best idea. If they do say that, then you didn't wanna work for them anyway. Be proud of your accomplishments.

If your degree is not relevant to the position - maybe. But as a general rule, failure to disclose information honestly and fully on an application form is a disciplinary issue, often punishable with termination. Assuming it's found out, of course. So, why are you underachieving, anyway?

Why would anyone want to leave a degree off their application?

Why not? its not like your leaving off something bad or anything. they should consider you either way better to be overqualified then under-qualified.

Perhaps an excellent idea, as many college grads are over-educated idiots. I don't need to know what piece of paper you've got, or from what "institution". I need to know what you can do to improve my bottom line, not what some Democrat told you was correct.
