Job application asks for level of education question
A job application asks for level of education, what does in progress mean. Does it mean still working on school. Right now I'm in my second year of college.

"In progress" means the applicant is still in school working on a diploma or degree. You can add "Anticipated graduation, 2014" (or whenever you will graduate).

It doesn't say I can say that so should I say some college- no degree then?

Then choose "in progress", since you are in the process of getting a degree.

I hate to disagree WG. But some college implies that the applicant started college, but didn't finish. In progress implies that they're in college, and still working on a degree.

I hate to disagree, Alty, but "in progress" doesn't say anything. At least, "some college" indicates he's gotten that far in life and may still be attending. And it doesn't say he has left college.
The questioner can choose which one he's more comfortable with. The interviewer will ask him either way about school/college. And he'd be very smart to attach a well-written resume to the job app if it is a paper thing, or enclose in email when he sends in the job app..

WG, which is it? Your first post stated exactly what I said, that "in progress" means the applicant is in school working on a degree.
Now "in progress" doesn't say anything?
I've had applications like this. Some college, to a potential employer, means that you attended college, but didn't finish.
Obviously WG and I don't agree. I'd call the employer and ask what "in progress" and "some college" means to them.

I said it means "in school," not necessarily college (diploma or degree). He could be in high school.

Just want to point out that in the OP's post, the category "some college", was actually "some college- no degree".
Again, I disagree with posting that, since the OP is in college, working on a degree.
But that's just my opinion. If it were me, I'd choose "in progress", as it does imply that you're still progressing towards a degree, and not someone that flunked out of college, which the category "some college-no degree", definitely implies.

It also implies you're in high school. Or grad school. Or 4th grade.

It could imply that. But "some college-no degree", is far more absolute that "in progress". In progress could mean anything. Progressing to achieve a high school diploma, a college diploma, a doctorate, it shows that the OP is still working on a diploma, and is still improving himself.
But "some college-no degree", says it all. That the OP attended some college, and didn't get a degree. If the OP had attended college, flunked out, and didn't get a degree, then this is definitely the option he should choose. But it was my understanding that he is still in college, working on, progressing towards, a degree.
Sounds like "in progress" to me.
The OP can decide which option is best for him. Which category most suits him.
I need to get to bed. I think I've been pretty clear why I wrote which option I'd choose. I don't feel the need to say anything else.
Good night.
