Government employees buying degrees

If you’re a regular listener to the show, you know how important education is to Clark. He’s been a strong supporter of advanced degrees, including online degrees. But in the midst of it all, phony colleges have been popping up like bad weeds. There are hundreds of officials who used our tax dollars to purchase phony degrees that got them a higher salary. As a result, we the taxpayers got burned twice. One of the employees of the Homeland Security Department claimed she had a degree from Hamilton University in Wyoming, which doesn’t exist. It’s not just happening in the government. People in corporate America have bought phony degrees. You’ll get e-mails about it, and many people take advantage of it. If you’re an employer, check out your potential hires thoroughly. And, if you’re thinking of buying one of these degrees, you may want to think again. More and more companies are going after workers with phony degrees. You could lose your pride as well as your job.

All of the above.
