There is no reason to lie about a degree. If your work product is good enough, let that substitute.

“There is no reason to lie about a degree. If your work product is good enough, let that substitute.”

Well, actually in the federal government I saw many job announcements that required a degree to even qualify to be considered for the position.....and or if the application grading system is numerically scored she was probably trying to pad what her grade would have been.

As far as being no reason, yes there was........greed.

I agree. Often there is an arbitrary limit placed on advancement. Experience counts but they may reach a roadblock without a degree. They may work their way up to shift supervisor, but can't become a department head without the degree.

Depends on the job. We had a lady who claimed she had a master’s degree in nursing and was hired to head up an ICU...all the nurses told me and her superiors that she didn’t know how to use the machines needed to treat the patients. Shouda’ been fired. Was transferred to desk job.
Clearly incompetent or an imposter.
