I'm not doing it to be manipulative. That's not the reason. I just know how to make things easier.
I mean, you have actual qualifications, right? I don't. I spent ten years terrified that people would figure out I was clueless, and people- if you're nice to them, helpful, remember birthdays or someone's coffee order, they're much more willing to believe 'Well, that's Martin. He's a bit absent minded but he gets things done' rather than 'he's obviously an idiot and lying about having a degree'.
