Employers and busy students?

I would leave off the "working on a masters" if it was not relevant to what they were asking for.

No, my BSBA isn't CIS. So I have no degree relevant to the job. I don't expect to get the job, but I thought if I had BSBA and CS degree in progress, maybe I wouldn't have my resume in the trash right away. Thanks, I will leave off the Masters.

Case in point: I leave off an AGS (none of their business), but keep the AAS in EM as its one of my additional duties.  I would leave in a community college Certificate in LEAN/Six Sigma as most BS in Business degrees do not have that specific knowledge/skill.

I don't think I can leave that off. If I leave it off, I appear as a high school graduate who is working on my CS degree. It seems better to be a college graduate (who did a business degree) who is going back for a CS degree. Unless you mean leave off the CS degree, but then it's seems like a business graduate who is trying to get into a new field with hardly anything.
