Possibly... It depends on how you code income. If income is listed as an actual amount of money earned within a year, then it is interval data because there is a measurable difference between the income of one person vs the income of a second person. For example, one person might make $25,000 and another might make $26,000. We know that the first person makes exactly $1,000 less than person 2. We also know that person 2 makes more than person 1.
If I have 10 people and I call the richest person "1" the second richest person "2", etc. Then the numbers 1 - 10 are ordinal data for "income".
Notice that Ordinal data does not give us any measurable distance between two people. Income "5" might be $1 more than income "6". But Income 7 might be $10,000 less than income "6". All we know with ordinal data is that 1 is larger than 2, 2 is larger than 3, etc.

How do you convert ordered data to nominal data?
I think you mean ordinal data. Similar to the golf tournament, you need to determine where to "cut" (from the ordinal data) so as to divide the data into different categories (to the nominal data). For example, if the ordinal data range from 1 to 6 (where 1 = the best) and the cut is 3, then you convert all the numbers from 1 to 3 to "1" (which represents "good") and the all numbers from 4 to 6 to "2" (which represents "bad"). In other words, 1, 2, and 3 from the original ordinal data set are converted to "1" (ordinal data); whereas 4, 5, and 6 from the original date set now become "2" (ordinal data). Eddie T.C. Lam

Is occupation nominal or ordinal or interval?
Occupation is nominal data. There is not an order to the category occupation, so that eliminates ordinal and interval.
