It never ceases to amaze me how people dream up ways to bilk you and me out of our money. Two things that really irk me about online education:
1. Diploma Mills
2. The boneheads who actually buy this garbage.
I was reviewing a gentleman’s resume recently and noticed he had a degree from Rochville University. After doing a bit of research, I found that I can buy a degree from Rochville for as little as $199. I can also have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 5 days! Wow! What a joke…..
What goes through people’s heads when they say to themselves “You know, if I bought a degree I could get a promotion and a raise and a new car and a….Pink Slip.” I have a friend who is a recuiter and he told me a story about an applicant who got a Bachelor’s degree…from a community college!
There are a lot of terrific online schools out there. It is beyond me why people think they need to lie about their academic credentials to make it in the world. Anyway…just thought I’d rant a little. Thanks!
