I applied for a teaching position at Chaing Mai University. I am an attorney with a juris doctorate. I did not complete my BS because I had to drop out of school to work. Years later I attended law school and received the JD.

I received a telephone call from the English Dept. at CMU and was asked if I have a bachelor's degree. I said no. The lady informed me that without a bachelor's degree I was not qualified. I told her that I had taught seminars in law in the U.S. That was not sufficient.

I really was not surprised. After all, I am in Thailand.

Your joking right?

No. No joke at all. A friend suggested I purchase a bachelor's degree online. I don't think it would be worth it.

Do you have photoshop?

No I don't, but I wouldn't want to do it that way even if I did. I'll find another way.

Just say you have one, tell them any University, I am sure most don't check, do they?

The application requires photo copies of your degrees and certificates. So photo shop would be one way to go.

Sorry Sir,
You are over qualified. Seriously, nobody in Thailand even checks, my friend bought a degree from Khaosarn rd and he got a teaching job with it.
