Employer Claim Degrees He Doesn't Have

[Anonymous]

My employer has a diploma from his high school in Richmond. That's it. He has no education past high school. He's 63 and owns the business

In the last two years, I have heard him tell prospective clients that he has:
- a 'business science' degree from George Mason
- a nursing degree from Ohio State
- a 'biology and care' degree from VCU
- and that he 'studied medicine' at UVA

Would you correct the record or just keep your mouth shut and wait fof the lawsuits to roll in?

I would wonder what he's lying to me about.

Is he paying the employer share of your SSDI?

Why would your clients sue? Is a degree required to own or operate the business?

If he’s 63 who cares. He would have forgotten anything he learned in school by now anyway. Let sleeping dogs lie. It’s a Don Draper deal.

Why would there be a lawsuit?

Bitter experience has taught me that, for whatever reason, there is a lot of overlap between credentials exaggerators and sexual predators. I'd be more concerned with the high correlation of those two characteristics than with the mere fact of his education lies.
