Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

Okay, because I've had some beer and am feeling loquacious......I will unveil a deep, dark truth.
You know how most good paying positions require a degree? Well, the reason they want the degree is not because they think you'll have gotten valuable training and knowledge.
The reason is that you know how to learn, and are willing to put up with the bullshit that goes into getting a given degree. You have demonstrated a willingness to put up with bullshit, and can remain focused on the larger goal.
Really, that's the reason they want a degree. To prove that you can make it in the corporate world.
Folks, I really wish I could say that I was joking, but honestly, there's no humor in this post at all.
