The very informative spam that I received today told me that "No one is turned down!" and that There are no required tests, classes, books, or interviews! Quite an interesting proposition, if one was so disposed. With a very heavy heart, I've had to refuse the generous offer contained in the informative spam. Having said this, I wonder what utility that "recepients" of credentials offered in the informative spam will obtain with their hard earned degrees. To this end, I have created a poll.
I thought it said absolutely "useless" - worthy of a civil service job. Mentally subtract one vote and recalculate averages please.
Just as I have turned down the very generous offers for anatomical enlargement. Don't want to be tripping all the time.
Replace "with" with will. Sorry for the poor editing on my part. I had just finished a final exam in Marketing, and my mind was just not into editing. Luckily, most of the people who took my poll knew what I was talking about.
A splendid way to earn a degree for life experience. Earn a PhD for civil service work! Have you cheated on your taxes? Lied on your resume? Had sex with the boss's secretary? YOU QUALIFY! Use the title of "Dr." as soon as the FBI pays a visit to your home. (registered and accredited by the Liberian Government now located a box 3300, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC)
Bear has estimated that more than 1 million people falsely claim degrees. He has also estimated that the diploma mill industry does business to the tune of about a half-billion dollars annually. They must (a) know their customer base and (b) know what they're doing. If the spam works, it will keep happening. If not, it will go away. I'm betting on the former.
