Off topic rant, but its really funny -- college degree mills

[My Bariatric Life 764]

I've heard of college degree mills but this one has certainly got to take the cake. It only costs about $100 bucks to take the test as many times as you want until you get 75% of the questions correct. Wow. That sounds like a bargain.

What's more, you can hold some wildly impressive degrees. Check these out: http://ulc.net/index.php?page=shop&cat=17

I think that I will apply. By the end of the month I could hold degrees as the Doctor of Immortality and the Doctor of the Universe. I'll feel so omnipotent!

I first read it as: Doctor of Immorality!

Hey, this is where I got ordained I've performed 2 marriages so far, and I have my 3rd scheduled this summer. It's pretty handy to be an ordained minister. Oh, and I've done 1 funeral. Maybe I should buy a robe and a stole! It'll go with my Rev. Lindsay badge I purchased for said weddings.

I kind of want a Doctor of Immortality degree. I'll get it framed and hang it under my (actual hard-earned) master's degree. Would be a very impressive credential to my students.

Send me $50 bucks and I'll ask you a few questions (assessment) and create and print a really impressive certificate.

Lol, I was ordained through this service. My real degrees are from real schools, but I think everyone knows that these degrees are not something that can ever be used on a resume.

You'd be surprised at what "everyone" knows.

@@AvaFern I know people who have ordinations like this so that they can perform weddings, or because they give spiritual advice or they are energy healers and things like that. The ordination in their case protects them from getting sued.

I just thought some of the "doctorate" degrees were hilarious.

I've actually been looking for an ordination program, which is how I stumbled upon these degrees. I don't want a traditional seminary and I don't want an overnight ordination, either. I am still looking for the right fit.

I got the ordination so I could charge more for notarizing wedding documents, haha. There is a cap on fees that a notary can charge, but there is no cap on a fee that a minister can charge. I also thought it was a little amusing. The test took about 20 minutes and I had all of my official paperwork in two weeks.

@@AvaFern that's a great reason.
