I agree with all that was said above. I got a resume once for an admin position that had hobbies such as bowling listed. If it's not relavant don't put it down.

I have the problem of having an AA degree and having gone to a State School for two more years but I never graduated. Everyone wants a degree. I put the dates attended but I'm careful not to say I have a degree in anything. This used to be easier with the old paper way. Most people assumed I had a degree, if asked of course I'd tell the truth. With all the online forms it's harder.

A former employer who did a startup in his dorm in college and never graduated always had "atteneded U of __" on his bios etc. Not many people caught onto that either.
