I'm trying to fill out a job application form. On the form, I was asked about my education. The list of questiions are:
school name, school address, education level, years completed, did you graduate?, degree earned, and major field of study.
What does "years complted" mean and how should I count the education years?
I asked my frineds but they aren't sure about it.
Could anyone please help me out??

Hi, there:
If you graduated, for years completed, you can just put the "normal" amount of years it would take to achieve that certification. For example, if you've graduated high school, just say "4" under "years completed" and then "yes" under "did you graduate?" In my opinion, you can do the same thing even if you got a GED or finished it in more than 4 years. If you finished in less than 4 years, you might want to put the "real" number since it might sound more impressive.
Another common question is "how many years of schooling have you had?" or variations. Once you hit college or post-graduate work, it becomes silly to calculate it, but when I'm asked that, I just take K-high school (12 years) plus college (4 years) plus graduate school (2 years) and list that total number. All in all, I've probably been in school longer (extra classes, school for fun, etc.) but I figure they just want to know a target number so they have an idea of how educated I am.
Good luck on your job search.

I think it's rather self-explanatory. Some people go to high school, college, etc, but don't finish. They want to know if you went to college for a year, or if you went to college and just decided to quit a month before graduating.
I would round off education to the nearest 6 months. So if you went to school for 2 years and 4 months, I would say 2 1/2 years. If you got a degree, you would write "4 years" and then also answer the columns "did you graduate" and "degree earned".
Good luck.
