I faked my degree and now I'm in big trouble.
What kind of trouble?
I got fired last week when they found out.
That's a rough situation to be in, but faking your degree will only last so long. Eventually, bosses will check your background to make sure you were honest in your application.
Usually something like this works because no one checks degrees.
I'm sure that some people are able to get away with since not every employer will check. However, as you found out, you're almost certainly going to be fired if you are discovered. For future jobs, it's best to just be honest and tell them you don't have a degree rather than live in fear of them finding out.
