    OK, quotes like "Some applicants claimed to have degrees in fields they had never studied".... this surprises me...... some may fudge, but to totally lie???

    I wonder if there is a statistical signifance on the field???

    I am investigating that exact question for my PhD. It is making fascinating research, which I am aiming to expand through a survey of over 3,000 Recruitment and Consulting agencies in Australia and New Zealand. Stay tuned.

    Cheers,

    George

    That was my first thought.

    I hereby retract my former statement of your being an optimist. :)

    You can still put it on there - you'll just be the 1 in 7.
