Cheating a college education

Cheating a College Education

By William Schmidt

Only 40% of companies regularly verify degrees earned, according to a study by the Society for Human Resource Management, and even then, they might miss diploma mills. When claiming a bogus degree always remember to leave enough time in your resume to allow the required college attendance. Degrees just don’t happen instantly, they require long years of work.

Also, keep in mind that your job title and listed salary must be in line with your claimed academic qualifications. Be sure that your salary after earning your degree reflects the expected increase. If not, it’ll raise a red flag.

Please be very careful to avoid using these techniques to go after a job that’s obviously over your head. Don’t get intoxicated with the idea of earning a huge salary. Believe me, this is a formula for disaster. Unless you’re absolutely sure that you possess the skills and experience necessary to be successful in your new position – stay within your capabilities.

If you can, visit the campus of your new alma mater. Stroll around, taking particular note of the streets and bars in the immediate vicinity. Get a copy of the school’s catalog and study it carefully. Commit to memory two or three of the more prominent professor’s names and faces.

College transcripts are extremely easy to forge. Simply get a copy of someone else’s legitimate transcript and a copy of the college catalog for the period you’ll claim you attended (larger libraries usually have past school catalogs). Make as good a copy of the real transcript as you can, use cover up strips to block out your name and other personal information. Then use a computer or typewriter to replace the previous personal information with your own. You can plan to spend an entire evening working out the details of your new/old degree and creating a believable copy of your transcripts. Moreover, be sure to include that all-important raised seal.

You may also want to know that several of the larger Universities are international in scope. They maintain locations both here in the US and overseas. One of the largest of these is one that’s located in the state of Maryland.

There’s also the question of a completely new spectrum of degree programs, which due to long-distance learning, don’t require physical classroom attendance for a set number of years. Many of these video, web or long-distance programs can be quite legitimate, such as The University of Phoenix, now recognized as the largest university in the U.S. because of its aggressive marketing of distance learning. The stigma of distance learning is rapidly disappearing thanks to the Internet so even if you claim that you got your degree from a web based school you’re still going to be credible.

If you claim a degree from one of these international schools and your future employer should experience problems when they attempt to verify your degree, you could claim that the university has so many different operations that the verification process is rather unreliable. I’ve known several people who have successfully used this approach. It’s a common and therefore believable story.

Never forget that those friendly folks who run mail drops will gladly open a box for you through the mail. See the list of mail drops at the end of this report. You can then use this new box as the college’s official mailing address. This means that the degree verification form will be sent directly to you so that you can then provide the verification yourself.
