Can't enter degree in Education Info

I'm trying to create my profile, but it won't register my education info.  I can put everything in until I get to degree.  I selected my degree from the drop-down list, but it still says in bright red "Select the appropriate degree from the drop down list." But I already did select the degree.  Then it won't let me press save.  I don't know what to do.

I did try to do that, but it didn't help. I also tried different browsers: chrome, brave, edge - but it didn't solve the issue. Can you help by fixing it?

How can I change my name now? When I registered for the first time, I didn't notice that I have to use my real name. Thanks.

Thanks for your response, Goran. However, I've already tired that but to no avail. I've also tried using the app, as well as a different device.

Hello, 

 

I am experiencing this same issue. I have tried clearing my cache, and I have tried four different browsers across two different devices with no success. Some help resolving this would be great.

Hello - I am having the same issue (can't select anything from the drop down box in education) and I have tried your suggestions - please can someone fix it? Thanks

Hi Leah,

 

You should be able to save your education information without completing the degree field as it's optional. That way you can still submit your profile. Later on, you'll be able to go to Find Work> Profile and make changes to your profile.

 

We do have a known issue with the Education section of the profile where freelancers experience errors when adding their degree. Our engineers are actively working to fix this issue as soon as possible.

Hi The B,

 

Once you`ve submitted your application you will be able to go to Settings > Contact Info and update your name. Thank you.

When trying to set up a profile, on the education section I have an option to list my degree. However, the system does not recognize it when I select it from the drop-down menu. I have attempted this on both Safari and Chrome. Is there a fix for this?

I am having the exact same problem! I have attached a screenshot below. I have cleared all cookies and used different browsers as well.

I cannot enter in my school as it is not on the list. It says to just enter it anyway and it will ad it to the list. I am working in Chrome and I also tried in Safari with the same results. I type in the school name and hit enter as prompted and then it clears out the name completely.

I am also having trouble entering any degree type. I am able to select one from the drop down menu but once I select it it gives me a red error as if nothing were selected.

I also found the illusion of being able to contact someone directly frustraiting. I type out my issue then and shown some tutorials that don't help, then I'm asked if I still need help and am promted to this community forum.

I can't apply my degree in the education section. I've got the error message "Select the appropriate degree from the drop-down list". Any degree from the drop-down list causes this error. In any browser. What's wrong?

Hi there, I'm trying to sort mine also. It doesn't have the degree or master's I studied in the drop-down options but won't let me save unless I choose one?
