问题详情:
You're busy filling out the application form for a position you really need; let's assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn't it highly attractive to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University?
More and more people are turning to complete deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week.
Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant lying, most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them impostors(骗子); another refers to them as special cases. One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by no such people.
To avoid outright(彻底的)lies, some job-seekers claim that they attended or were associated with a college or university. After carefully checking, a personnel officer may discover that attending means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that being associated with a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend.
If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a phony(假的)diploma. One company will put your name on a diploma from any number of non-existent colleges. The price begins at twenty dollars for a diploma, which seems rather high for one sheet of paper.
Job seekers’ lying is a social phenomenon, and therefore, the whole society should take its responsibility to deal with the problem.

A. performance is a better way to judge abilities than a college degree
B. experience is the best teacher for job seekers
C. past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees do
