If you feel you NEED letters after your name, you are under peer pressure...and if you cave in by acquiring a fake or dodgy degree, it just doesn't make ANY sense. Come on! Many accredited institutions leave lots to be desired...go figure dodgy schools in someone's basement...you just have no idea whether there is any faculty at all...oh, yea, they printed a list...PFFT! It's like the clown online posting a James Dean pic as his own...WTF would you know? And let's be clear: the majority of people with dodgy degrees bought them as a shortcut towards effortless pay increases or something. Period. Freedom in academia my a$$. That's how the whole argument gets discredited...when the dust settles, you only had streetwise bozos wanting to pull a fast one, research my a$$.
Quite obviously Hamster you do not understand the difference between Private Universities - of which there are over 5,000 in the world - and diploma mills!
