Presenting a 9-month BS on a resume?
#1
What are everyone's thoughts on this? On the one hand, the employer could interpret it as "Wow! What a quick learner!" On the other hand, the obvious potential negative reaction is "What kind of crappy degree can a person possibly earn in 9 months?" It could lead to some awkward questions.

"So how long did you spend studying economics?"
"Errr...15 days?"

So has anyone successfully spun this to an employer? How did you do it? If not, how would you do it? Should the subject simply be avoided altogether?
