Imagine paying thousands of dollars to go to college just to be taught by a fraudulent professor lol
Wouldn't mind at all if I learned. There are plenty of legit professors that suck.
exactly the fact that he taught at Toronto University crushed me
Trump University........
Exactly. At least these diplomas useful and cost couple grand ,not like gender studies sht they make for 50k. :)
lmfao!
PLOT TWIST:
That Retired FBI agent purchased his badge online
I also question the journalists :P Lol
Also got his hair online
I went into a shop in Greenwich village NY in the ninety s. You could buy any badge,ID or degree they put your name and or photo while you waited.It was much cheaper than these prices ! I don't remember but I think they were under $ 20.00. Scam all they way. A bunch of teens getting Ids & drivers license to get into clubs .
Ha ha ha
Trump got his wig online as well!
No one who has actually earned a degree forgets where their degree is from.
You've apparently never done too big of a dab
ngl I forget the school that I go to for a measurable period of time. As in the name, that is (not the location.)
I have almost an associate's degree and I've forgotten where my almost degree has come from before... and I'm not fraudulent when I mark down "some college".
I feel like if you get a bachelor or master, you wont forget it
Exactly
This is what you get when McDonald's start putting "Bachelor's preferred" on their hiring posters.
Are you serious?
And soon you will need a Ph.D to work there.
Who the hell would have a bachelor's and work at McDonald's? McDonald's is a job for a high-school kid that lives in home and needs weed money.

I bet that retired FBI agent waited years to flash that badge again.
Bullseye. After years of intense bent BB Gun target training, he finally shot enough Badgers, at the Carnival, to win a freshly printed Badge.
Lol
😂😂😂
Like the FBI has a shred of credibility.
And yet still more than you. None of this relies solely on the retired FBI agent's views either, but you stay blind to that.
As a college student going through 5 years of dental school to become a dentist this is very insulting to me. People that get fakes degrees online, potentially putting people's lives at risk and making a profit from it, is utterly revolting.
Also that way it will no longer be a insult
Honestly, I studied aerospace engineering for 5 years. I dont care if you have a degree or not, if you can do the job well, it shouldn't matter. And especially with government intervention, school has become far too expensive.
Sounds like you're jealous they can do the same thing spending no money lol
@@dissraps For real! For some reason its engrained in us that you have to go to college to be able to do certain things. Thats not the case at all! I regret getting my deghree in aerospace engineering, huge waste of money and time. I just run my own remodel business now. College is 100% a waste of money and time. You can easily learn all of it on your own.

It's scary to meet these people because they'll never have self awareness, you have to observe them and realize omg this person is delusional and doesn't care about the truth.
Why isn't Marketplace exposing the incompetence of HR departments who hire these con-artists in the first place?
IKR
Goddamn right!! How can they hire people without background check, that should also include their degrees as well.
They're worth as much as a real degree when it comes to being able to do the job.
Its because the potential employee has connections within the company and his friend brings them in to the workplace
@Jeff Bardot same here but in my case my cousins plagiarized my resume and tried to get hired where i worked...lol he just took my name out put his...long story short i had to have school send transcript and verify my degree....honestly i almost quit because it was so embarrassing.. But im past that now
Guy couldn't remember where he got his masters. I failed out of college after 1 year because of to much partying. I was drunk 99% of the time I was there. Here it is 30 years later and I can still tell you the name of the school.

I attended an accredited Canadian university for ten years and earned two degrees: one bachelor's degree and one medical degree. It cost me nearly a quarter million dollars and a decade of incredibly hard work. And to think....I could have saved all that time and money and purchased a degree from Ashley University.

“How many fingers?” Good grief. Sounds about as pitiful as a therapist in St. Louis that I went to for help for PTSD. She Used EMDR; (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). She had the degree, but please...snapping fingers repeatedly as I suffered by reliving my trauma. She desensitized my insurance company out of many $$$.
What's funniest is what this is exposing on a deeper level.. The fact that these people are able to not only acquire employment. But, that they can remain employed almost indefinitely.. So my question is exactly how much of this "legitimate" educational BS is actually required to do said job? If these people are capable of attaining and consistently performing on a level that's acceptable, then it exposes the fact that it's not about"education", and merely about class separation and the acquisition of money only.. It's a hierarchy that all about the haves and have not's and will strive to continue this inequitable social/class structure..
Correct. It is called a BS degree aka Bullshit.
Note to self: Never trust a psychologist whose name is Ojo, is from Nigeria, talks about inequality by showing his right hand, compares relationships with making lasagna, and drives a 2002 Nissan Altima with a fart cannon.
😂

I have a real PhD and I still can't get a job.
lol depends on wht
I got mine for 45k 5 and half years and I recently got a job . I graduated in 2014 btw. Stay strong 💪
... @ Jon, it's either Ur major, Or, U want big buck$ w/no negotiating a salary. That's probably why U don't have a job w/the PhD.
sopascat7 yeah but he really shouldn’t compromise for a lower salary if he has a PhD.
... @ Jason, most companies find a person w/the same, or similar, credentials to work for the asking salary. Example: the job offers $100K a year, but the person wants 200K. The company knows they can find another person to hire for the starting salary they're offering ... Jon didn't mention what his PhD major is/was. A gal I use to know earned her MA degree in Missionary work, yet she wondered why she wasn't getting a high pay raise working as a Care Giver. Wall Street isn't going to hire folks with MA or PhD degree in the Arts (acting, ballet, musician, etc).
I study English at Prince Sattam University in Saudi Arabia. I enrolled in a Shakespeare class last term taught by an Egyptian professor named Mohammad Saeed Ali.

As someone who regularly does couples counseling, I'm dying laughing. The Fingers of Inequality. It's not funny, of course - it's outright fraud - but the hand metaphor (and the Wisdom of Lasagna) is pretty hilarious.

It may be funny in counselling or could be reckless in education but I would argue it’s potentially deadly in nursing

Actually, a printed 'diploma' is worthless. Any employer doing actual vetting will demand a TRANSCRIPT directly from the accredited institution.
Russ G Companies that do "real" vetting will just outsource the job to a clearinghouse that checks the transcripts and screens out universities without regional accreditation.
Most master’s and doctor’s except MBA all have to publish a thesis or dissertation to graduate, ask them for one.
best thing is to google map search the physical campus.
Russ G actually the real way to check if a person is legit is if he/she knows their field.
Actually a bunch of these mills join and accredit eachother.
Meanwhile I'm spending $$$ and 4 years for a real degree?!?!?
Unit23OnPatrol universities, are a joke. Take a look all the kids go University now is 80% Chinese, whose parents have no idea what current university system is.
Because they're paying actual people with actual qualifications (hopefully) and are registered. Rather than all these people who think education is a scam (trump voters, no doubt), education is one of the best things humans can engage in. However, make sure you're getting what you pay for. If your lecturers are muppets, or if you check your lesson notes against your texts/online and they don't match, there's a problem.
@Rev limits Says someone who thinks political leanings govern anything besides who you vote for.

Institutions should not be in jail. People should. People like Mr. Putin too who says both the west and the institutions of the west all belong in jail with people like Russian artisists who dared to do the math on how much money and sons his goals in Russia is costing Russians.
My step father has multitudes of these but the thing is, he suffers from delusions and thinks they are real. No person can have 12 phds but hes seriously convinced he does and that just taking the test? for the degree was all he needed because he's so smart.
We can't tell him otherwise because like I said, he is delusional and will fight tooth and nail to defend himself. It's really sad :(
I have a friend like that
yeah delusions are pretty messed up I experienced a few doing lows
No one cares
I was literally just telling a coworker I wanted to pursue my PHD. He told me it would be easier to just buy it through one of these institutions. I thought he was somehow misunderstanding the online process, but now I see he was right. People are actually able to buy degrees and have the appearance of attending an institution.
This is very unsettling.
Talk to lots of people about their experiences. PhD programs can be brutal and take a very real toll on mental health. I am a graduate of the law school featured in the Paper Chase and 1L and it was an absolute cakewalk compared to my husband's PhD.
Well, caveat emptor to the businesses that do not call the college after your interview! If they don't call to check, they are the ones that are perpetuating the problem.
Not at all unsettling. If the companies and institutions were doing a credential and background check when hiring (like most places do), nothing of all this would happen.

OH DAMN!! I attend Seneca College (same campus which the had the interview with the professor) and the professor from Seneca College, Dubravko Zgrablic, was my professor for my Computer Application course. No wonder I didn't learn anything from his class and he didn't know what he was taking about. He pretty much taught the very basics of using computer applications and using Microsoft Office applications.
I barely passed his class with no learning outcome. All his tests and final exam did not relate to what he taught, I was lost on how to do things cause he didn't teach anything. The material on homework, assignments, test and exam were hard to do. I was expecting that this course will be more in depth and will be learning something but didn't learning anything. My friends who took his class and all other students who took his class said the same thing about what they've learned, nothing! I really wasn't expecting this from my college.
I really wasn't expecting this from Seneca College. I really thought that they had better process of going through each professors credentials, education(s), paperwork and going through their background check.
Don't be shocked by Seneca. Go to King Campus and you'll have a laugh
It's more worse?

As someone with multiple degrees who can't find work because I've had health issues (& thus gaps in my work history), this is repulsive. People should verify credentials and not judge people just because they have gaps in their resume. This is why incompetent people have power while competent people who may have had life happen to them are effectively locked out of the workforce.
We study hard to get a bachelor degree...
But getting a PhD without effort...
Continue your work marketplace
A BA isn't that hard to get. IF you know what you're doing, you can get one with minimal effort. I know more than a few people who, literally, copy/pasted research papers and got their degrees.
No matter what credentials you have, social skills and work ethic can get you anywhere. Don’t expect a degree to get you a job it only prioritizes your interview lol ( Unless you work in medical, banking, or technology obviously )
A legitimate degree such as a law degree, psychology degree etc can provide one with the ability to have a private practice or business.
You mean, doctors don't need degrees, easier to hurt you, never held accountable, no degrees.

This is what happens when you charge people a small fortune for education.
It would still happen if it were free due to the time and effort. Canadian universities are pretty reasonable if you consider how much it costs to pay salaries and cover overhead

If they can do well in everything they would need to finish the course, why make them do it all over again?
@@CigsInABlanket good idea
I was going to say the same. Give more opportunities for someone to "test" their skills against the university's standards, and if they pass, they get credit. As far as I know, there isn't a lot of opportunity for people to do this in graduate degrees. For some things, like medicine, it makes sense to have them retake courses. As you want to make sure that the person understands the needs of people in that new region. But things like computer science or math don't change country to country.
Maybe that's something those people should research about potential destination countries before making such an important decision as immigrating to one of those countries.
Of course it is possible they may be refugees, or seeking political asylum or whatever else, but we can't make laws based on exceptions.
So, would you really want someone dumb enough to not check ahead to be designing buildings or doing open heart surgery or whatever else their supposed specialty is.
Use their degrees from their home countries.
Interesting story. I have friends that work in oil & gas in fort McMurray. They are all electricians. Around 95% of these immigrants with journeyman tickets are bogus and should never ever use their trades tickets. 2nd year electricians know more than these so called journeyman.
Those people working at Tim Hortons that have extra degrees from their native country. But can't make a double double coffee. Yeah I believe they are qualified. That was sarcasm btw
Is sick I can't imagine a doctor or a school teacher having this
If you are a politician in Canada you don't even need to purchase a degree. Toe the line, cover for the boss, learn how to apologize if you get caught, and you will be automatically made minister of something.
A masters degree earned in a year for Counseling Psychology. Had a legit job in Counseling for 2 decades just to make metaphors about fingers and lasagna lol.
Where do you get to take your master’s in clinical psychology for one year? In America it takes about 2-3 years to get a master’s in psychology which equates to 60 or more credits.
To be fair real universities are doing the exact same thing, except they cost $100,000 - $200,000!
Matt Daronco scam
Lol what uni u go to??
If you get a dumb degree like liberal arts, gender studies and so on yes but that's your own dumb fault.
You should have chosen to study for something that can actually help you get a job
depends on the degree....you cannot say that about medical or nursing degrees, law ect. The are tested by outside sources. Same with electricians and other trades. Yes, careers are backed by useless diplomas.
Matt Daronco so true!
After studying and toiling writing my PhD Dissertation for 4 years, these people makes me sick!
My mom went to college a few years ago. Finished her dental assistant career and had her diploma and all that. Just yesterday she and other batch mates received an email that the school they went to wasn't authorized to teach and hand diplomas to that specific career. So everyone is overwhelmed about the issue and it may or may not cost their current work.
*Anderson College* . What are you guys doing?
Turns out you don't really need all that college education to do those jobs, but that sheet of paper makes people feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
The real one feel just like that but even better
Nice, a Madoka pfp in the wild
Ok, so do these institutions and workplaces not look up these universities they have never heard of before hiring a client???
That means they dont
No, most places don't. Its not worth the time if you have 20 applicants for the same opportunity, which happens a lot more than you might think.
@@MikeTheGamer77 You think employers take all 20 applicants seriously? Some will be called for an interview, then they narrow down which one they figure would best suit their workplace. That's when they *should* start vetting people.
Apparently many places don't even bother doing that, but, nevertheless, saying it's not worth the time is simply ridiculous.
Many Human Resource departments vet applicants based if they have a college degree or not. Seriously, it can be for any college degree. Some entry level data entry jobs are requiring college degrees these days. It's ridiculous.
I don't understand who's hiring these people without doing even a little research, especially to be around our CHILDREN
What I dont understand is this: I can understand someone bullshitting their way through Biblical counselling or psychotherapy. But how do you teach a class of Computer Science? There are always 5-6 smart kids who will show you up.
I think he did his training in Croatia. So he did know computer science but didn't get a degree in the U.S
