For anyone not able to watch Carte Blanche this evening, two things stand out...
1). Shrien Dewani is seemingly as guilty today as he was the night he had his wife murdered, and had the inclination to try and paint South Africa as a place where these types of accidents just "happen"
2). You can buy your masters or even doctorate qualification online.
Now, for my classmates and I, slaving away in class each weekend, handing in multiple assignments, long hours and reams of information to absorb, had we known this ahead of time, then $775 and a few phone calls and we could not only have a masters, but a fancy DR title in front of our names.
Then, even better, we could apply for board level positions and probably get them, based on our illustrious CV's and experience. Sounds good, right?
Well, for those who get away with it, perhaps a doctorate in deception and malpractice is exactly what they deserved. All strength to them.
For those who attempt to use these false qualifications for personal gain and then feign ignorance when challenged, seriously...really...what?! The worst part of it is knowing you haven't done a stitch of work, KNOWING you have no knowledge of anything, and still expecting doors to open for you and to put cash payments down on your new Range Rover. Sigh.
Anyway, sometimes things in life baffle me, but I will place these somewhere in the back of my mind, move on and hope to never have to work for one of these cornerstones of society.
On another note, we went to the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens today to watch one of my favourite bands, Prime Circle. As always, they were fantastic live and really gave the 4000+ crowd a good afternoon.
Okay, I'm off to go and peruse the web for my doctorate in advanced metaphysics and pancake flipping...
