Default How to earn money with your home computer

Want to earn some extra cash? Got a home computer with a printer? You need to talk to Salem Kureshi.

Salem Kureshi lives in Pakistan. Using his home computer, he has founded 44 separate unaccredited universities such as Belford University. At Belford, you can earn your PhD in 15 days (which is probably how long it will take for your check to clear). No tests, no dissertation. Costs about $2,000. Don't want a PhD, no problem. Bachelors, Masters, even high school degrees are within your grasp.

Now who would be stupid enough to send some guy money for an unaccredited degree in 15 days?

It is reported that Salem Kureshi earns $70,000,000 per year. 70 million dollars. Seventy. Million. Dollars.

That's about 35,000 satisfied customers per year.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belford_University

http://www.belforduniversityonline.com/

I have to respect this guy. 30 years old and knocking down $70 mill per year with just a computer, a printer, and some websites.

Yikes

I once knew someone who purchased a PhD (I think that's what it was) online but the fool went for a job with a highly reputable employer who conducted stringent background checks.

Needless to say his job application failed and he was out of pocket for a tidy sum but never would say how much for.

Ended up becoming a Traffic Warden...probably for his sins

I only found out about this because The Frau was reviewing a resume from some guy applying for a job at her company.

Unfortunately, there are probably too many companies that won't bother to even google the University. Normally, at The Frau's company it is HR that does the background research. But this guy even had a shady name for his Bachelor's degree. That was enough to spark her interest and she used The Googles.

I think she is going to pass on this person. The guy may be a good guy and may be good at his job. But if you are going to buy a degree, it does raise questions about your judgement.

Dude, at least try University of Phoenix. At least they are accredited.

It will if you buy it some wings. Or a PhD in aeronautics from an accredited online university. Just send a certified check to...
The Bovine Scatterings school of flight engineering.
Leave the amount line blank.
Just fold a paper airplane out of the sheepskin.

Easy there SIRE! I've been a well educated 'traffic warden' from time to time; The course in logic and Abnormal psychology were actually useful one night on a TV shoot security gig that turned into a private Aerosmith concert with 1000 tour busses and a 500' cruise boat: totalling 18,000 inebriated fans. Their security was lousy, so my boss 'graciously loaned me out' to man their main gate and take charge of all the busses going in one direction only and returning for the pickups too: chaos choreography!; all in a two hour period. It didn't hurt that I'd done 'yard king' duty at a truck company either. Kind of a welding of all the little imputs to achieve a successful result: Beachmaster on D-Day-wise...decisions on-the-spot...I now contract to the company I got 'loaned out' to.

Sounds like a interesting idea for banks to scam people once they reworked it.

Honestly the whole resume thing is BS.The whole idea is pretty much to lie about your entire life.You list all of your experience and put a good spin on any lousy bits.

I mean it really is utter nonsense.Besides to prove that you follow instructions which I guess is the ultimate point I you are too lazy to write a good resume you are probably also too lazy to work as well. Of course I have read resumes that where full of hot air but had no obvious lies.

The first job where I really proved my worth was in the Air Force after all of the training was done and I had to face the music on my own really prove my worth or prove that I should one of the shlubs in the shop handing out tools.People can and did fail hard in my career field and made serious mistakes.The thing with many jobs is a person can really be pretty crappy and get away with it or they coast and get away with it.Pretty much it is one way or the other its seems.I am always suspicious of any person who proclaims that they are a hard worker actions speak louder than words.Same goes for the type that never make mistakes yeah that they got caught making.It takes a really honest person to admit a mistake or better yet make a mistake that no one could possibly know about(who made it) and still admit to it.

I think the best and most realistic job interview would be checking the persons background and then toss them to the wolves see how they really work.

Kind of like the training that a person must go through to join an elite unit one of the places where everyone present actually can cut the mustard.

C'MON! That's jus' good 'ol PUFFIN! Whether you're impressing the gal or qualifying for a loan it's all the same! If there are no obvious lies then it's skillful PUFFIN...the benchmark of running for office in any democracy for example!
