Employers and busy students?
#3
If you're enrolled, put it on your resume as in progress. If you're DIYing on your own and haven't applied/enrolled yet, leave it off.

I realize this is a question of preference, but in my opinion, it is good to list it because it can help qualify you for some jobs, and for employers that look negatively on education - they won't even bother calling you for an interview (doing you a favor). If you think your education section looks too heavy when compared with your experience section, leave off your AA.

I feel they would ask too many questions and think I was too busy/distracted. If both are part-time, they might also think that I'll take a long time to finish. 

In my case, the bachelors in-progress would be in the same field (Comp Sci). I believe having the partly-done degree is better than nothing, although others said they wouldn't consider it as a recruiter. I don't know if I can land the job unless I mention that I'm a CS student.

Doesn't it look slightly good to have a Masters in progress?
