The similarity between a USD and a college diploma is the fact that both are backed by debt, and the belief they have any value at all.
That belongs on a T-shirt!
Seconded.
It is perpetually shocking to me that people will spend $40,000 and 4 years of their life in order to put a single line on their resume that many employers won't care about or won't even verify.
I've heard stories of someone bullshitting on their resume/interview that they had a Masters degree. It was never verified, they were hired, and they learned everything they needed to know in less than 6 months on the job.
