I lied on my resume from about 2002 - 2008 and got my career off the ground. If an employer had me fill out an official application, I would only list the AA degree. Never got caught because the resume got me the interview and I guess I always passed the bg check because I didn’t lie on the official paperwork.

Now I completely leave off education and go on my two decades of experience. And never had any student loan debt.

What do you do? And what baxheors degree did you list

I work in IT management…started out as a developer though. Pretty easy field to get away with something like this as opposed to say, nursing!

My major was computer science so that’s what I would list, but the AA that I got was just my generals.

This is bonkers, my friend same age did the same. Finance degree.

A lot of online applications require all your transcripts now. I guess it was easy to not require that 20 years ago, when you’d have to wait weeks for the college to reply & mail them out. Now, you can order an official transcript & have it sent in minutes.

What? I got a new job last year and filled out tons of online applications. I never once was asked to supply a transcript. If some place did that, I’d NOPE outta there. Who’s got time for that?

Very common request on intern applications esp. in finance & accounting

I had an abortion. No regrets whatsoever. It was my body, my choice to save my life and not really anyone’s business

I'm in my 40s and had to provide by transcript to be a school substitute recently!

Why don't you use birth control? That pattern sounds irresponsible, TBH.

Not this poster, but I hope that if you ever need help, you will be met with less judgment.

A few friends from college know, but my two best friends that I grew up with don't. They made a few comments over the years that made me feel like they would judge me/not understand, so I decided not to share.

But you will tell your child, right?

They need to understand their medical
history.

Yes! We are very open with our son about it.

I'm the opposite. I have major "wild child" energy but in truth, I have only slept with a handful of people, all in long term relationships. I refused to sleep with all but one until we had been together 6 months- one year. The one I slept with right away, I married. No one would believe this if I told them bc I come across a lot less conservative.
