Main problem is verification services like https://nscverifications.org/welcome-to-verification-services/

Apparently people can also just call the registrar’s office and verify student name, major, degree, and year awarded.

If you are willing to pay around 500 dollars you will get degrees official transcripts and pretty much everything you need. But like i'm not sure if what to do with official transcripts, like during the interview just throwing them down on the table randomly would look sus.

It depends on the field and the employer. Some will definitely not do any verification. I wouldn't go any further than a simple, 'Yes I have [degree]' though. Having fraudulent documents made up takes you into a new category of breaking the law. Also, nobody wants your paper records anymore. Anything short of changing the university database and you might as well do it yourself.

Having a degree, I have very little respect for them and don't even look at it when I am included in hiring decisions especially since requiring degrees perpetuates inequities. Maybe focus on developing the skills for the job you want? That's what can't be faked and has actual value.

What kinds of jobs are you looking for? There might be someone here who has good advice for getting one without a degree.
