I have a fake degree. I feel like a terrible person.

I have a Masters degree in Human Resources that I got through a cheat code. I never had to do any homework, I barely ever went to class, and I got a high B average without putting in any work. It was a useless degree too. I lived off of my rich dad’s credit cards for everything, and he just covered for me the time I had to do a final exam. I marched my ass up to the faculty and accepted my degree. Never told a single soul what I was up to. I know that if I get caught I could get arrested. I have been so terrified for 6 years but I got lucky. The college was sold to a new corporation and they lost my info, and I was able to walk out with my degree and start a job in HR. I never told anyone how stupid HR is, and I never told anyone that I had a useless degree. I feel like I live on shaky ground and it is eating me alive. I am not a bad person though, so my guilt and shame is especially confusing to me.
