Hey /adv/, need some help here. I'm studying (or was) computer science and I have a year left on my degree. Thing is, I hate university and the city I live in. Because of this I've been looking at jobs in Europe. I actually got a mail from a recruiter about a job I think I could do. I asked him more about it and I'll have an interview. My question is: should I lie about graduating? Will they discover the truth? Again, I have one year left but I do NOT want to finish it. This job isn't temporary so I think me being in the middle of a degree would bother them

Bump. Someone please help

Depends on where you're applying to. In the US big corporations and almost always require transcripts as proof of your education claims when it comes to entry level positions. Government entities always require transcripts all the way to phd.
I'd just finish it so you will never have to worry about it again, always wondering whether you'll be found out when lying about it.
Are you failing out or are you just bitching out because of the stupid reason you mentioned?

I'm not failing out. I just can't mentally handle it. I don't know. I guess that counts as bitching out. Basically I hate my life and I want to leave. It's a small company btw.

They will find out. Don't lie about degrees. Just take a break, finish and go to europe.

Go for it. I do think it is the worst mistake you will ever make to drop out of college though, and I think they will do a background check as well - computer science usually leads to some kind of interaction with sysadmins, which leads to security, clearances, backgorund checks, them finding out you lied.
