It takes years of study and a fortune in tuition to earn a college degree, unless you take the kind of shortcut former Tarpon Springs Fire Chief Rick Butcher did.

If you want one so bad , just go on your computer and make one yourself and print it out of your printer for free. Remember to get heavier paper though.

Unfortunately I fell scam to something similar. I actually went to a physical college and was taught by teachers and received a Bachelors. However the school was shut down about half a decade ago for fraud and I have 70 k in debt from student loans from it.

These degrees exist in mass among people who are looking to check the box to be promoted to the next level. These are the people who are probably politically connected to the get the promotions anyway, but lacked the credential. It is probably an open secret as many of the people that are the so called gatekeepers posses them as well. Once news of the scam breaks to the general public they will all circle the wagons to protect each other vs. any real outrage and firing. Some possible defenses they will use: 1. Even though employee X had a fake degree, it was not relied upon in the decision to promote 2. Employee X had no idea that XYZ school was a diploma mill and was unknowingly scammed 3. Employee X while having this lapse is in judgment is an outstanding leader and is apologetic about this. The details related to any potential discipline given to Employee X is a personnel matter and cannot be disclosed. However, if you follow up over time you will notice that these employees will still maintain their titles and continue to receive promotions in the future.

For faked Doctor Zaius; are you bought faked degree to became doctor? if you are, it's not different between you and the lowest level species on the planet. There is no such thing can do the job properly. Low level education has low level performance for jobs. In order to get degrees in 100% regional accredited, you have go through many years of all the hard work to gain scientific knowledge and skill approach. Real degrees indicate how much scientific knowledge you have in general education in math, trig, algebra, calculus..., knowledge on the jobs, and among many other requirements. Importantly, higher degrees cost lot of money and times. When you buy a faked degrees clearly for just for entertainment, not be supposed to using these faked degrees to get adequate jobs and receive top promotions, especially in public service jobs, law enforcement, lawyers, psychiatrists, criminology, and many others which damage to public safety and national security, and the lives of others. These individuals who using these faked degrees are lacked of moral values, lacked of human dignity, lacked of ethical principle, in addition to no self-respect & no self-values that no different from criminals & terrorists have been using faked degrees for lie, cheat, steal, murder, threat, harass, stalking innocents for money and profits that against social norms, crimes & justice, and other illegal means.

Because they spent millions, may be more to famous universities around the world to gain scientific knowledge and skills and invent a new things in both physics & cyberspace science technology.

I am not sure where are you came from, but with you immoral actions & behaviors, your country never develop any advance tech toward world stage. Whole bunch criminals & terrorist, gangsters, and psychopath mind, you and others made your country very bad reputation, and low level technological innovation compared to other countries. Scientific knowledge and skill approach required extensive education, extensive study to gain knowledge, skills & intelligence that lead countries to the 21st century. May be your country do not need any college and/or university at all, just buy degrees then work on the jobs. How do people like you can build high technological hardware & software & intelligence to defense and develop country in civil & military application when you bought degrees do not give you any knowledge or skills at all. May be I wasting my time to explain and teach you and others to understand that it is so immoral and criminal acts to just buy degrees and use them to get higher positions, jobs, and more...Meanwhile others have to go through so many years of studying to obtain their goals, and could not get the jobs because the companies, manufactures, governments, public service jobs, law enforcement, attorney, criminologist, psychiatrists, and among other important positions because low level moral values, criminal & terrorists similar to you and your point of view. Scientific knowledge and skills, intelligence in higher education need to earn which money cannot buy. Either you understand or not, I only respond once because so distance between top level education and individual just bought degree and proud of it.

My degree was completed in another country and unfortunately not accepted in the United Sates which is very unfair. Thankfully I was able to test out by exams in one of the few universities that offer this option in the United states. By the way your answers are way to long and unnecessary and doesn't impress me. It is better to keep them short and sweet. Also Id like to point out that your English grammar is very poor and you should consider returning to your studies of the English language at once.

From discussion Boards, Assignments, mid-terms, terms, final projects, Group Projects Doctoral Comprehensive Examination & Dissertation all by myself without any help from anyone. my field of interest, from various fields, Architectural, cosmetology, leadership, especially in PhD in Public Safety (Specialization in Criminal Justice). As the top Scientist, Researcher, Scholar, PhD, I always research and seeking for the truth. Only the truth with integrity leadership ability in scientific knowledge and skill approach can be able to assist any country moving forward in space frontier in the 21st century. As mentioned, I will stop any communication further due to far distance of humanity, ethic, moral, dignity, especially integrity levels of academic in higher, post education. I don't want to rude, but I don't want someone pulling me to their levels and beat me with alternative experiences. I don't involve to any politic.I don't hurt, harm, and/or put other down, I just point out pros and cons to improve scientific experiences in truth not lie.
