Such an attribute will encompass one entry for each college previously attended and this entry is composed of: college name, start and end dates, degree entries (degrees awarded at that college, if any) and transcript entries (courses completed at that college, if any). Each degree entry is formed of degree name and the month and year it was awarded and each transcript entry is made of a course name, semester, year and grade. Design the attribute to hold this information.
