Presumably if you're applying for jobs related to your education that aren't related to your first "proper" job then you'd mention your education first, no?
I'm guessing something along those lines led you to specify this as a generalisation.
Yes. Actually the general rule is put whatever's going to sell you most first. If your education is more relevant than your current job then I agree that you should put that first.
