Primary occupation for the US visa - student or full-time employee?, I'm both

I have been a full-time software developer working for a private company for the last 2.8 years, I'm also a college student in the middle of an academic grading term (I study at night).

I'm filing DS-160, there is an option for "STUDENT" or "COMPUTER SCIENCE" as the main occupation and I don't know what to choose in "Work / Education / Training" section of the form. I understand that both are responsibilities that show strong ties to my native country (DR).

If I choose STUDENT, then I don't have a way to specify my current job and income, if I choose EMPLOYEED then I don't have a way to explay I'm in the middle of my grading term at college.

I need help.
