Personally I don't see the problem. Before I came here, maybe, but now, no. China has opened my mind, or closed it, to many different things. If some fool can get a job here teaching English because he has a degree in Biology, then honestly, what difference does it make if someone without a degree buys one? In other countries I would not say this, but here, absolutely. The playing field should be level really, and people getting teaching jobs with a degree that's not relevant to the subject they will teach is the same as not having a degree. Others would argue different, but it's a biased view. Now if your degree is in English, that's a different matter, but still, even this doesn't speak to a persons ability to teach. Many factors contribute to teaching, a degree or lack of one when talking about people who don't even have a degree in the field that's being discussed is a moot point, at best.

I say why not, get a fake degree, education over here in regards to Oral English is for the most part a sham anyhow, and having people teaching it or majored in pot making is hardly my idea of someone qualified, might as well not have a degree at all in that case.
