As opposed to landing jobs, there are many civil service and government jobs where your pay and and how high you can rise in the organization can be tied to your level of education. There have been numerous reports of people using these diploma mill credentials to game these systems. It may be better now...

Yes this is very common and stupid. Heck your age also might be a factor. I worked at a state University and to get anywhere close to what private employers we offering me upon graduation ( I worked at the university full time while studying) it would have required a Ph.D. to reach that bracket (or equivalent work experience with this conversion 1 year uni == 2 years work experience). This is with the benefits (10% directly into my 403b, no contributions needed) and health package.
