What harm can an unearned degree cause?

Question

when it can be handed out like candy.

Answer 1

Have fun getting caught, fired and blacklisted in the working world.

Answer 2

How are they handed out like candy? Did you buy this degree? If so, that's fraud. Is it a degree that was so easy to earn that you say it's unearned? My niece did her Master's online and she called it her master's in a box because it was extremely easy. Depends on exactly what you mean by unearned.
