Fake high school diplomas and GEDs
Students leave high school without a diploma for a variety of reasons. They can have social problems, financial, family or personal problems. Many of these people go on to get their GED knowing that if they don't they will spend their lives in low-paying jobs. It is time consuming for the individual to earn a fake GED even though it is worth it from a monetary point of view. Data from the U.S. Census has shown that the GED or high school diploma results in earnings of $8,000 per year over those who did not have the degree or have a fake college degree. Picture the following scenario of a married father of two who works as a dishwasher and busboy. His wife stays at home with the young children while he works more than 50 hours per week to make ends meet. How can he study for the fake GED diploma? He learns about buying high school diplomas on the Internet for $200. His friend bought one and will secure a higher paying job. What does he do?
The high school diploma is worth an extra $8,000 per year in salary and these higher earnings are available for an investment of $200. Finishing high school means something in terms of life-long earnings. The difference could be one million dollars of additional earning over the individual's life. Fake diplomas are not beneficial for the employer. They have nothing to gain from them unless they have positions that they can't fill.

He hypothesized that the military was in desperate need of recruits so he presented himself as a high school dropout and received all of the information he needs to buy a diploma on line that would satisfy the recruitment requirements. This information was provided by the recruiter
