I hate lying about my education to get a job but after months of searching and being honest I decided feeding my family was worth the lie. I told the interviewer that I only had a HS diploma (even though I got my Univ of Phoenix degree). I told the interviewer that I came from a poor family and did not have the option of going to school because I had to work. I continued that my only option was University of Phoenix. I told the interviewer that I knew companies would rather hire an uneducated person that had sense than hire a fool with a Phoenix education. The interview chuckled and said we do not hire University of Phoenix graduates cause they have a degree but they are pathetic to think that their degree is meaningful... disassociated yourself from that joke of a school.

Auto correct put the wrong their in the previous post. It should read there. This is for the dip$hit spelling and grammar NAZI in this thread.
I found myself sucking up my pride and just putting down my AA from my local community college on my resume. I had three interviews within a week. I could not believe it. After a year of applying for the same jobs with the UOP listed. Do yourself a favor, don't list this ill run company masquerading as a school on your resume. You will save yourself from a deep depression. The fact that I thought I was the problem when in fact it was just the fact that their is a 96% employer bias against this paper printer. Potential students, spend your money elsewhere. There is no rigor in these programs and employers know this.
You obviously hate grammar and spelling as well.
