Get the McDegree mug.
A degree issued by a por-profit university that has a reputation for delivering a non-rigorous, accelerated, substandard education while charging an exorbitant amount of tuition and fees to students that in many cases would otherwise not be prepared to attend a traditional college or university.
His high school GPA was 1.5, but he was immediately accepted into AIU online. He finished his bachelor’s degree in 26 months and graduated with a 3.95 GPA Magma Cum Laude with student loan balances totaling over $50,000. Employers only laugh and make fun of his McDegree.

A college degree that isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Most McDegree holders will be working in jobs that don't even require a degree, making it pointless.
I can't find a job with my McDegree. The closest thing I had to a job was a paid internship - I had to pay them for it!
