No, its not….but as a fan of The Ohio State University that would be a heavy helping of Just Desserts! We have used stories in the past from The Onion and I have to say they are my favorites. This week “America’s Finest News Source” has a special issue on the workplace, a must read! This story plays so well into our past diploma mill stories I felt compelled to post this satirical masterpiece. I am hoping for some background check stories to pop up soon. Enjoy.

Comey said. “In the process, thousands of graduates have emerged with degrees, but few or no skills applicable to everyday life. And many are as unprepared to enter the job market as they were when they first enrolled.”
