It’s mostly just a piece of paper required for most white collar jobs to even pass on your resume to a real person. That’s the only reason I got a degree. I already had tons of experience, but couldn’t get a decent full-time job because the job postings all had a degree as a requirement and the automated systems take that as a hard requirement because it’s objective and thus easy to filter on.

Fun fact: as long as you’re not studying to become a doctor, lawyer, engineer, or other professional with a governing/licensing body, you can just lie about it.
No employer has ever asked to actually see my diploma. No employer has ever requested a transcript from the school. And even if one does, what’s the worst that can happen? You just won’t get that specific job – but you can keep on trying and applying to other jobs.
