Degrees, Who Needs ‘Em?
In today’s society, a degree is required for almost all entry-level jobs, even though the reasons for this are frequently misguided. So, without a degree, getting a career-level job is difficult… but not impossible. When people don’t double-check, a lie can work.
After that, you end up in a situation where you are surrounded by other people who do have degrees, and they all think you are one of them when you really aren’t. Well, it’s not that bad of a thing if you can still get the job done, right?
Guess I Can Switch
It happens all the time: you tell someone what degree you plan to pursue in college and immediately pass judgment on you. So you lie and say you’re thinking about changing your major. That’s usually just a lie told to get them off your back.
In the case of this guy, however, he did end up changing his major to the thing he was only using as a cover. Of course, that’s most likely correlation without causation or something, but it’s still a huge coincidence.
