The first degree refers to the earliest degree obtained by an individual, and the highest degree refers to the highest degree obtained by an individual at present. When filling in a resume or other relevant forms, the first degree and the highest degree can be filled in together. For example, if a person has obtained a bachelor's degree first, but has already obtained a doctor's degree, then both the first degree and the highest degree can be filled in as a doctor's degree when filling out the form.
