an other article on the phenomena, this in English.

I guess I should feel outraged. I am struggling to take a real degree, and people are getting the same recognition I may get, through paying from 500 - 2000$. I am not.

If people are able to fake the competence of a Doctorate, then perhaps somebody should have a long hard look at what kind of jobs require Ph.Ds.
