Cheesy? Let me assure you getting into an MA program without a BA does not always mean it's a shortcut. I beat out at least 50 other candidates with BA's including from schools like Cornell and UQAM, you don't graduate from those schools without some degree of achievement. People who don't have a BA have a lot more to prove. I worked my ass off instead of going back to do my junior and senior years and waste my time on useless elective courses. It was a gamble and it paid off. There are only a handful people in my school without a BA but you can be sure every single one of them earned their place there.
Sure your colleague may have cheated the process, but that happens everywhere now and then, not just in education.
Personally I think degrees are a joke after a certain level. I rarely see a correlation between skill and the level of education attained.
