One problem is:
employment_status_id INTEGER REFERENCES employment_statuses(id) NOT
NULL,
NOT NULL should be before REFERENCES.
Also, in:
last_updated TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
(i) NOT NULL is superfluous since the default is given by
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.
(ii) specifying DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP defeats auto-resetting of
the timestamp on updates. Is
that what you want? To get auto-setting on INSERTs and UPDATEs, just write
last_updated TIMESTAMP,
Also the manual doesn't mention TIME WITHOUT TIME ZONE. Are you thinking
of PostgreSQL?

funding_id INTEGER REFERENCES funding_types(id),
PRIMARY KEY (firstname, lastname, class_id, start_date,
end_date)
);
I get the following error message with the above statement but I can't
figure out what the problem is:
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
manual that
