I dont know how I feel about this. On one hand, degrees are somewhat good for education in lots of industries. On the other hand, I would fire someone instantly if they had cheated their degree like this. Degrees are also very expensive. I guess if it was a useless degree then it wouldn't matter in the first place.

But if they were already on the payroll, I'm much more interested in their work output than their transcript. This is just the industrialization of "Fake It Until You Make It".

    Degrees are very expensive in the us* most European countries the cost is much less. I think liberation of the yoke in the us is liberating to be honest. I think going to higher education physically however is more than just doing the content, but also doing the soft stuff — learning how to communicate clearly with others. This is lacking this, and then you have AI ofc which makes it difficult regardless

    why would you fire them for this? that seems absurd. I make pretty good money and I don't have a degree at all
