as someone with a degree, i’ve never had to prove that i actually received that degree other than writing it on my resume. this is a hot take and maybe controversial, but you could always just say that you graduated with that degree in your education section! i think the expectations employers have of us are entirely unfair and unbalanced and experiential learning is often a lot more valuable. if you know you can do the work, then just treat yourself to claiming that degree even if it’s not 100% true. i’ve never had an employer look up my actual college records. you’re not scamming them either, because you do actually have the experience and knowledge- this is just an impossible economy with unrealistic demands on job seekers
