A quick question, If you have a bachelor's degree and applied for a 2years associate program in a US community college (a program different from your BSc) and got admitted, should you still include your Bachelor's degree in the visa application form even if you ain't taking up a master's degree?

As regards employment on the DS 160, is it a red flag to fill in a previous occupation that was entirely different from your degree?. I am a graduate of maths, I was a content writer before I started working as an analyst. Would it be wrong to fill in the content writer stuff or should I ignore it, considering the fact that I may not have enough time to explain my reasons for doing that job to the consular
