"The next time you walk into your doctor's office, carefully check out the college diplomas and medical degrees on the wall. No doubt, you will feel a sense of peace knowing that your physician has completed all of the educational training and met all of the professional requirements necessary to practice medicine. But what if the degrees hanging on the wall are worthless - would you know? Unfortunately, most of us would not have a clue," states online degrees expert, DirectoryofSchools.com.
Fake college degrees are estimated to generate well over $200 million a year; and the damage from this unregulated industry is substantial. Nothing is sacred, as fake doctors, lawyers, scientists, engineers and others weave their way up coveted professional ladders at the expense of the unsuspecting public. But according to DirectoryofSchools.com, informed consumers can simultaneously protect themselves and help choke off the flow of money into this illegal cesspool, shrinking the profits of these scam artists and forcing them out of business.
Silence Is Not Golden
The media has often portrayed "fake diploma" stories in the news as humorous or entertaining, bundled along with the latest celebrity tidbits. For example, a recent story in the Canadian Press was entitled, "Lawyer Claims Ohio Police Dog, Chief Have Degrees from Same Online College" (March 1, 2007). And though the article may have elicited a few chuckles, the alarm bells and indignation that should have resounded were remarkably silent.... (Continue reading)
