Do employers really even check? I am going to start applying for jobs and say that I graduated from Harvard. If I put in 100 resumes there's eventually going to be one company that doesn't check.

Any employers out there? Do you honestly check for educational degrees or even do background checks? What say you?
Plenty check every detail. Some hire based on the interview not caring if you went to college or not, but then when the "big" promotion is comming and there is competition, the competition checks and you get fired for lying on your job application.

So go for it if you suck and will never be a threat in the office, but if your're any good you will get shot down and destroyed when your big day finaly arrives.
