I would think for most positions requiring degrees, the interview(s) would be the nail in the coffin...(blah blah oh I used to live in ____ near that university where did you live?). So unless you are a great liar and have a bit of luck, falsely advertising you have a degree seems REALLY risky.
Technical interviews are a quick way of separating the wheat from the chafe, even if you legitimately have a degree.

Sure some people are getting jobs using a false degree, I imagine in the 30 second glance world its somewhat meaningless. I'd be more worried about people lying about experience and providing false references.

This is why no one is really able to fake being an engineer or a medical doctor as well as they can being an arts grad.


lol apparently you can fake your way into training RCMP !!
