Johnny Be Good...

It is refreshing to see that someone has actually gone to school and "should" be considered a graduate or at least should have the right to go ahead and try to finish your last year or half year of school. Shame on the schools that exist that cannot allow people to get what they would have otherwise achieved if not for some of life's many obstacles. I mean after all you know more than anyone else how difficult it would be to jump in at this point years after and try to complete the last portion and yet YOU are willing and likely dieing to give it everything you have to succeed. Truly shameful if you ask me. I don't even care what had held you back back then. The sheer fact that you earned the first two years and are willing to put the work in now to complete it should be enough. Heck if you didn't succeed and you failed miserably it really is no skin off their backs. Beyond my comprehension...

I'll answer a few things now and ponder other possible solutions over the next while...

Pertaining to whether having some (or in your case a plethora) education actually legitimizes the diploma is just hopeful and wishful thinking. Believe you me with all my scattered education I'd love to legitimize more licenses or diplomas. Truth is there is nothing that would set you apart from the next guy with $xxx.xx . I understand the reasoning behind thinking this way but the simple answer is NO!

You would however have a better chance at retaining a job or "fitting in" if you did in fact surpass the whole interview process. Assuming you apply for a career that you ARE educated for. I mean think about all the people who do pass through the interview with this diploma but can't do anything remotely close to what is expected of even the greenest rookie. It likely doesn't take long for everyone to begin wondering what school this dork went to and either gets fired for incompetence or for lying about themselves. Depending upon the false qualifications this person could also end up causing an injury to themselves and or others as they "missed out" on some fundamental safety training that any accredited school would have provided.

I know that it's not much help as I assume you have thought about ways to get a degree or diploma for the work you have completed. I can't help but think that there has to be a way for you to be able to complete this or turn it or most of it into a degree of some other fashion or diploma. I am lucky as I recently went back to my old school and basically got awarded a "completion". 10 years had passed and even though I had a good reason for not finishing and was fully prepared to submit it, they didn't even ask! I'd like to think that someone out there could assist you. But if not and I were in your position I'd say "f*&* it!" and pay the bloody fee and get my fake diploma. I wouldn't brag about it nor show it off but I'd get it and I'd use it and hope to god it gets me in! And once in the door I'd work so hard at being so vital the the organization that if one day they ever did find out the truth that they would find it impossible to even think of letting me go. "Johnny-Be-Good" above most everyone else who would venture down this path stands the best chance of actually pulling this off... but it's still no slam-dunk.

But you just had to throw one more twist in the whole scenario and bring immigration into the whole mix. Thee most complicated, non-sensible and without a doubt out dated government department of any nation; immigration. And yes of this I also have first hand knowledge, not in particular your exact situation mind you and now I am curious about how that would pan out. I offer you only this for the time being; immigration officials in most countries are meticulous and take weeks to check the slightest piece of information. I am not certain but I am guessing that some countries would not look kindly upon lying on a work visa application and MAY never grant you a visa in the future if they see you as the type to lie. My guess is that you do what you can to get into the country legitimately based on whatever angle you can find... you'd be surprised of all the different government programs will let all sorts of different people into different countries. Heck you may be able to use your partially completed education as a way in on a student visa assuming you go to a country that would recognize it and that you are okay with completing it somewhere else. I am not too sure that your fake diploma would even be a good idea to use at job interviews while in this other country either . I imagine it to be very possible that a prospective employer may find it compelling to report this to the immigration department and your visa would likely be revoked and then your back to square- one.

In summary I would try to get your previous education recognized and or completed. Assuming you have exhausted that avenue and it was not illegal (I don't know every country's laws) I would then go ahead and get the fake diploma IF I were going to use it to get a job (or further education?) in my own country. If I really planned to go abroad I would first look into schools that offer similar educations as to the one that I had previously tried to complete OR schools that would take the previous education as part of completing another degree or diploma and apply for a student visa. If that failed or going to school abroad wasn't really part of your planning I would attempt to get a work visa OR a landed immigrant status base on ONLY legitimate information. Once you are "landed" or a citizen of a country then there is nothing that says you cannot get the fake degree and take it to a job interview if you wish. I just wouldn't do so on a work visa.

It's unfortunate the situations we find ourselves in sometimes; "so close but yet so far away". Ultimately it's your responsibility to understand the risks you take and take them ONLY if you know where the blame shall fall if it all comes crashing in on you someday and that you are willing to accept that it may. Remember too that if you do use this type of diploma that from time to time you'll be haunted by it. You'll wonder every time a superior asks to speak with you whether you'll be cleaning out your desk (or office etc.) and you wont be able to use that employer on a resume for future employment thereafter either if you do. But if you do get caught one day you do have one heck of a story and likely even proof of it so you may be able to make it sound as though you really had a good reason to believe it was a legit diploma and that you too are just as surprised to find out that it wasn't.

Hopefully you find a way to use your previous education towards something legit. And if not for the love of God I hope you learned something during your schooling that justifies the time and the money spent there, you don't deserve to be in this situation ; but you are or should I say"Johnnybegood" is?

Good luck I hope you all the best.
