I think it would be hard to tell whether a person's touted education level
is accurate unless you actually went to school with them and know them VERY
well. After all, a high level of education might not fit with certain types
of jobs. People can also get degrees by attending night school or part-time
programs that you might not have been told about, especially if it wasn't
relevant to a particular position.

Regards,

Kathleen
