Not sure why you are replying me to complain of OP, but I will take the bait.

Many countries have diploma purchase(or diploma mill), when we are hiring we avoid those business. Or the employee do not last long. Back in the day, I had some masters that could not do a thing if the answer was not online. That said, I still prefer to hire someone with higher education that someone with none, too many kids that value "skills" with no understanding of basic concepts of the profession, things taught in the first years of a post secondary education.

I know that instance does not say much, but I am replying from Canada, the Iranian ancestry I talk about are people who got their PhD from McGill, UofT and others. I know we have private diploma mill problem in Canada, but I don't know anyone from those business.

Second, this is a meme comm, I don't think you will find any source from OPs. Very few posters, usually the good ones, put the source or a brief explanation on their memes.
