Life experience is certainly valuable. But is it enough to earn you an advanced degree without ever attending a single class? The NBC 10 I-Team went inside the world of online "diploma mills" and found out just how easy it is to buy a bogus Bachelor's degree, Master's degree or even a PhD. For one Rhode Island public school administrator, a so-called Bachelor's degree from an unaccredited online school was the ticket to a $94,000 a year job. The I-team learned the Providence School District never checked the administrator's credentials before hiring her. NBC 10's five-part investigation led to the administrator's resignation, as well as a change in the school district's hiring policy going forward.
