  • University degrees serve at least two functions.

    One function is a sort of guarantee that you have the knowledge and skills of the particular degrees you obtain.

    The other function is to show that you are the kind of person who gets university degrees… whether that is because you are competent or just that you come from a socio-economic background that values university degrees nad can afford them.

    For that second function cheating matters very little if you don’t get caught.

    For the first function, it might also not be super relevant. I had to take a humanities class for my computer science degree. If I had cheated on the theater exam it would not have made me a worse programmer. 😄
