You would have to be pretty lucky to fake your degree but now that I think of it, I was never explicitly asked for my degree.

There's no shortcuts, if you want to make it you have to put in the work, most of the people here are praying for a moonshot but the guys who make it from crypto already have a decent income so can afford to put $10k+ on several coins and do their due diligence

The problem isn't faking your degree, its a problem if you advance and when a great opportunity occurs, you can't verify anything and you actually lose advancement AND your current job when the potential employer contacts the old employer. I've actually seen this twice in my life, not pretty.

Yes. You can always work a lower tier job at a tech company and learn enough transferable skills to move on somewhere else into a better role. Sales, support, qa, marketing...whatever. You need job experience, references and knowledge about various platforms. You can learn and get all that if you just work for as tech support for some software company making 35k a year. You'll be making 65k in 3 years if you work hard and focus more on improving your skillset and less about moving up in the company. Never let a boss decide your upward movement in your career.

I lied about my degree for prestige web dev/it-consulting. OP it's not that hard since you just have to succeed once. After 2 years of experience nobody gives a fuck about your degree.

Reason I did was that I fell for the college meme and did unnecessary stuff for 5 years and never completed due to lack of purpose. I then realized that other students did it just "cause they needed by mommy/daddy or society" and not bcz they were genuinely interested in a variety of topics.
But don't be a nigger and pretend you know the job. Self-learn the minimum and fake till u make it for the rest. Worked like a charm for me.
I regretted losing those early 20's years on stupid CS shit but on the other I hand I travelled all over Europe and fucked over 30 girls from different countries.

Had I done differently, I would've taken a full time job while self-learning learn2code as fast as possible and nailing a web dev job within 6-12 months.

You don't NEED to go to college for 4-5 years just to get an entry level job unless medicine, law, accounting. Just self-learn the needed stuff and find a job. BOOM, you have the same salary as college cucks and saved a bunch of time and money that you can invest in crypto. This is my biggest lifePill to /biz. Enjoy!

I did this years ago, and taught English in China. I made like 27k yuan a month for a few years then started a business selling phone cases and chargers from China through contacts I made in Dongguan. I operate a shpidy store and still sell accessories. But I make a living doing SEO. You can get a degree pretty quickly actually. But the type is shit. Worked for me thoguh

I've had a few jobs where I just lied and said I had degrees in computer science/business/whatever. They hired me and I never had to prove anything to them.

yep I basically did crypto for 1/2 a year non stop full time. when there were no few tutorials on on-ramps.

You had to teach yourself to beable to do, read and secure everything.

Change addresses were a killer early on. And haveing full coin control
