I am not sure they really care that much what you select for a WHV.

so it doesnt matter that much? do they take it all into account when granting visa? do want to put down any wrong info.

Pick the closest one. It matters not.

What I mean is that you can select whatever you think most closely matches your situation. I don't think whatever you select would have any other flow-on effect later on, you don't have to work in the same field as you have chosen on your WHV application.

ah right no problem.just for my own knowing.

what is the difference from the list that i choose between degree course and college degree ?

the options to choose from are as follows:
-higher degree course
-degree course
-diploma course
-technical or training certificate
-college degree
-senior high school certificate
-junior high school certificate

do they go in order? this is my course:

Your occupation doesn't matter unless you are working in Healthcare and or with children.

They don't care what degree you have

Apart from the Healthcare & children (which only determines wether you need medical/X-Ray)

I think its purely statistical information they are asking, you don't need a degree to pick grapes or berries. It's not as if you are migrating or anything.

They probably only wanting information for future marketing.

Level 7 is a Degree course, level 8 is higher degree
Pick the closest job is fine.

It doesn't matter oen bit in relation to your WHV.
It may be looked at if you later apply for a 457 or PR. But even then if it was close it was ok. Somebody who put down Baker, later applying for a 457 as a butcher might raise a flag, but if its remotely close its fine imo.
