Ethics or survival?

Soooooo, um, how often do employers check to make sure that you really have a degree? What if I just, like, added one from some obscure little college somewhere? Because this is ridiculous. I need a damned job!

I'm not sure, but at least one temp agency I signed to said they check everything including high school.

Get one of those buy a degree on the internet degrees. I've never had anyone ask me to bring proof of my degree, but they would call the college, I suppose.

So sorry about your continued trouble in getting a job. So strange!

Nah, just Portland's 8% unenjoyment. Time for me to branch out, or go back to insurance, perhaps.

An internet degree is looking very tempting though!

Not as often as they should ... but it's far worse to get fired for lying on your resume. ;)

Now this is helpful! I want my BA in English for Christmas, and it's only $149!!

If I don't get something by end of December I will be maxed on my unemployment, and they aren't guaranteeing any extensions after 1/1/04.

I know...I'm scared as hell.
