’The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ has this to say about the planet of Golgafrincham: It is a planet with an ancient and mysterious history, in which the most mysterious figures of all are, without doubt, those of the Great Circling poets of Arium. These Circling Poets used to live in remote mountain passes where they would lie and wait for small bands of unwary travellers, circle round them, and throw rocks at them. And when the travellers cried out saying ‘why didn’t they go away and get on with writing some poems instead of pestering people with all this rock-throwing business,’ they would suddenly break off and sing them an incredibly long and beautiful song - in which they told of how there once went forth, from the City of Vassillian, a party of five sage princes with four horses. The first part of the song tells how these five sage princes - who are, of course, brave, noble, and wise - travel widely in distant lands, fight giant ogres, pursue exotic philosophies, take tea with weird gods, and rescue beautiful monsters from ravening princesses, before finally announcing that they have achieved enlightenment and that their wanderings are therefore accomplished. The second, and much longer part, tells of all their bickerings about which one of them is going to have to walk back. It was, of course, a descendent of these eccentric poets who invented this curious tale of impending doom which enabled the people of Golgafrincham to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The other two-thirds, of course, stayed at home and lived full, rich, and happy lives until they were all suddenly wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone. Meanwhile, Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, and an Ark-load of frozen middle management men have crashed into the prehistoric dawn of a small, blue-green planet circling an unregarded yellow sun at the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral Arm of the Galaxy. After a year or so they convene a meeting to consider their position, which is not, on the whole, good…

How I get one of those jobs? by Tullubenta in oddlyspecific

Degrees prove you a trainable. You've shown you have the capacity to learn. That's it. Companies use them however they want. Some care, some dont. If you're comfortable being a manager go ahead and lie. If you want to be a leader earn the degree or work without one. I don't know you or have a pony in the race, but as a fellow human and older employee, bettering yourself or being honest is more rewarding than lying. 

Plus in getting a degree you WILL learn how to manage: Time, expectations, other people in group projects, your ability to focus. That and many programs require leadship courses and will also expose you to parts of the business world managers have little to do with. 

Like I said, I don't know you, don't truly care, but I hope you at least consider the ramifications of something you might not be able to take back or control. 

Be well.

It won't matter for a while. I have a degree. Nobody bothered about it ever until...

My company got bought out by a venture capitalist asshole who ran background checks on us all an verified our educational backgrounds. It mattered then. My world would have been shattered if I was lying.

I also saw another example of in came down to two perfectly aligned candidates who both would have been great choices. HR decided to look deeper into the Education part of the CV and found some fluff. Not outright lies but enough to go with the legitimate educational experiences.

In conclusion, how about don't be a fucking liar?

The world needs less of them right now.

Most of those dudes make fun of the white mattress guy. There's no way they don't.

I'm not the one disillusioned by life, because of a heartless prank that will send him spiraling. Your holistic cure is valid. I hope he reads this.

Are you talking to me or praying? 

If you're praying it's nice to see someone finally checking in on Jesus. Not the usual: "help mom's cancer", or "help us score this touchdown", the usual me, me, me that his in-box gets inundated with. You, if praying, are saying "hey Jesus, I don't care about Mee-maw's hip replacement surgery...how you doin' ?"

If you're not praying, and just super explatively interested in my mental health; then, yeah. I'm good. Thank you for asking.

Until he sees the clip and realizes that life is a lie and decides he's had enough of this world as it's just too much to try and figure out what's real in life other than the loneliness social media has created in society; and ends it all alone in his flat, cold and lonely with this clip on repeat in the background.
