“You can just do things”: Guy admits to faking a degree on his resume—and says it changed his life

A viral Reddit post led to a lively conversation this week after one user admitted he faked a college degree on his resume, and said the lie changed his life. In a now-deleted post on r/TrueOffMyChest, u/FlamingoCreepy1884 confessed he added a fictional bachelor’s degree out of desperation. Four years later, he says he’s thriving at the job, has been promoted twice, and manages a team. And although he lives with “constant anxiety that it will all come crashing down,” he doesn’t regret it.
