It won't make much difference.  If you're using FAFSA, they take everything in consideration.

which is true, but would it be better if I put he was a factory worker or something
Why would it be any better?

Well they ask on the common college app and they're more forgiving for bad grades etc etc if your parents never went to college and have shit jobs

You know there's more scholarships and whatnot for first generations in college
