Are mail order degrees really worth the risk

There are fair chances that you've come across some advertisements all around the internet for "fake college degrees" or "loopholes exploited; get a degree instantly" or even “buy one degree, get one more for free”.

 If you look at it very objectively, these companies are all advertising to sell mail order diplomas / degrees. Some of those are of higher quality than other degrees and diplomas on offer, but at the end of the line it all comes down to the same thing: a (smart?) and easy methods for those who didn't complete college or university to show an employer (or in most cases a prospective employer) a sheepskin graduation paper (or maybe we should call it a “snakeskin graduation paper”).

Varying quality in fake degrees / diplomas
When we talk about fake degrees / diplomas, actual quality varies greatly, from cheap photocopied pieces of paper to wxquisitly well crafted document sets inclusive of genuine looking seals, and in some cases even actual transcripts, some even containing phone numbers for the 'registrar' to verify the student’s attendance to the college or university.

Fake degrees / diplomas – The risks

If you're really inclined to take the fake diploma / fake degree route, then be 100% sure you're aware of the risks involved as much as the benefits they can give you. The obvious benefit is that you may well gain an enhanced level of prestige, higher pay, or skill related promotions by mere virtue of your newly acquired Bachelor's degree or Master's degree. On the other side of the coin, the not to be dismissed and significant risk of losing not only your own credibility but your job and high prized benefits as well. IF you get caught ofcourse. You may well end up being  blacklisted within your specific industry if your transgression is severe enough.

For the sake of individual freedom of thinking I will not talk about the moral implications in this blog article, you can perfectly make up your own mind I would guess. At the end of the line everyone really is accountable to their own self conscience in grey area matters like this. You don’t live with your mommy and daddy anymore (at least I hope so) and you may well feel it’s worth the risk, in an effort to move a few steps closer to your desired career goal or lifestyle.
