Well , okay , there ' s evidently some bias in you , calling him an asshole is unnecessary . udanielkuzmin , what upitgoat is trying to say although letting his emotions get the better of him is that the piece of paper that makes you more employable makes you more employable because of the standards and values it upholds . That piece of paper represents 3 years of hard work , dedication , and at the end of the day it is proof that you are a hard working individual who is willing to take on the tasks that may be placed upon you in a job , and that you will complete those tasks honestly , on time , to a high degree of satisfaction . By cheating in college , you ' re not ' tricking the system ', you ' re not achieving a better result because in the long run it will ALWAYS come back to bite you in the ass . By cheating , you ' re essentially shooting yourself in the foot , discrediting the piece of paper you get , and in turn you end up damaging any employer that hires you because if you ' re not willing to work in college , what makes you think that would change in a job scenario ? TLDR udanielkuzmin , You ' re not an asshole , you ' re just wrong .
