I remember working next to people who were making more than me because they had advanced degrees/experience but the person was completely incompetent. This explains a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if half of the upper-crust Americans have phony degrees/experience. I think all industries need a shake-down to weed out the fakes, especially countries like India, Phillipines, Thailand, well most of Asia.
Seems like everybody has a degree these days and those who hold real degrees have them completely devalued by fakes, lose income and job opportunities that they would otherwise be entitled to but instead the job goes to a liar. Before I had my degree, I was honest with employers and took lesser paying jobs and worked my ass off. 2 jobs plus going to school part time. Seeing all the cheaters and rich kids skate by through college and go on to high-paying jobs... This is beginning to really put a dent in my wallet and crimp my lifestyle that I've spent my entire life working toward. THANKS A**HOLES!!! I HOPE YOU GET LENGTHY PRISON SENTENCES AND HUGE FINES!!!! I'll be in line for your cushy NASA job when you get fired.
