And finally… Law graduate flogs degree to pay off student debt

An American law graduate has offered his diploma for sale on Craigslist in an effort to recoup the massive $210,000 cost of going to university.

The unnamed student wrote in his ad: “I’m selling my Juris Doctor because I don’t use it and I’m trying to work my way out of debt slavery.

“This is a great opportunity for someone looking to impress their friends by obtaining a law degree from a top tier law school without having to sit through three years of boring lectures!”

A picture of the diploma, obtained by Above the Law, shows that it comes from University of Miami School of Law.

The four-day-old advertisement is still live on Craigslist, suggesting no one has yet been tempted by the $210k asking price.

The seller has, however, written: “I’d like to get what I paid for it but feel free to make me an offer.”
