Everyone loses when someone cheats, not just themselves, if they only cheated themselves it wouldn't be a problem.
You lose by getting incompetent bureaucrats and engineers in the future etc, even if you didn't cheat.

If one could assume that getting through college is actually difficult and cannot be cheated on, one can assume that someone having a degree in a field means something. Someone else cheating means you need to work that much harder to convince people you know what you are doing. It's helpful to have certifications that mean something, otherwise they are just more noise.

- xboxnolifes 2y agoI agree that aren't valuable, that's my point. Cheating has been rampant and easy for a long time. Though, it's not just the cheating causing it.
