I was a full-time college student in 2020 (January through may) but then got two part-time jobs after graduation. What do I put as my occupation? Thank you!

If you're required to file a tax return, or even if you're not, enter your "occupation" as of 12/31/20. If you have more than one occupation, enter your main occupation. (The one you spend most of your time doing.)
The IRS requires we ask about your occupation.
An occupation is what you do for work, but if you’re retired, a student or a stay-at-home parent, that can be your occupation as well.
Tip: Even if you're not required to file a return this year, file one anyway if you want to recover 2020 federal tax withheld from your paychecks.
For additional requirements that you need to meet to file a tax return, see the entire TurboTax FAQ here
