Buy your PhD degree fro USD180!!!

Hahahaha! If buying a PhD was ever so legal... ethically I mean, I think I'd already be swiping my CC :P But alas, the core of the PhD is that it in itself is a training process. So, you can't buy the training experience , but you sure hecks can purchase the 'training-kits' - the semester fees etc.

I don't know how, but some websites claim that they can provide you with a degree (Bachelors, Masters or even PhDs) just in a matter of days! One particular website promised to deliver within 5-days. Hmmmm... Not a new thing, but forever will it be weird.

I read once that you can get the degree (at one website, referred to as Instant Degree?) based on what you already know. How is this possible ek? And some websites go further to claim that the degrees are from reputable institutions... which I highly doubt. They also list out what you will get after buying their degrees:

• Make more money 
• Qualify for management positions 
• Start being considered for promotions on your job
• Have the once piece of paper that will open up a world of opportunities for you and your family
• Finally get over the hump that has held you back for so long
• Get your degree without having to take out a huge loan from the government to enter college
• Have a degree in your chosen field 10 times faster than you would attending school for two, four, six, or even eight years 
• Impress your friends and family with your college credentials and have them wondering how on earth did you ever have time to get a degree 
• Experience all of the advantages that having a college degree brings without having to do any of the hard work to achieve it

Indeed these opportunities exists if one has a good piece of paper... but it doesn't mean that these things WILL happen, ye dok? Furthermore, with a bought degree? Aiyaa... Mmg de very2 pelik one. Especially if it's a PhD (which the website is offering for USD180!)... At the moment, I am struggling to make ends meet for my own PhD... and to have someone say that you can just buy one just like that? Simply makes me fenin.

Anywayz, I've just actually scratched the surface of these instant degrees. This topic certainly has made me interested to know more... not for the sake of buying a degree, but maybe something I can use as modal for conversation pieces. Hahahaha! Okes. Sambung balik the actual degree work... meh buat PhD cara susah :)
