Dont apply if you have a degree

I hate job applications that say this. I know they are looking for a certain type of person but is it just a teeny bit possible that that person has a degree anyway?
What would happen if I lied, said i didnt have one and they found out? Although i dont know how i would explain 3 blank years on my CV

If they found out you could tell them 'deal with it' and then face some constructive dismissal as they decide which of the million ordinary things you did breached their obscure contracting.
Job market sucks though, in all seriousness. So you'll get nonsense ads like that
When an employer assesses qualifications in this way what they are really saying is that they don't want someone who will bugger off for a better job after ten minutes. If you're desperately looking for a job, any job, this will show through at interview, believe me. If you're happy to stick with the job for the medium term then it won't be an issue. It would be difficult to argue that omitting qualifications is fraudulent but ask yourself why you want the job and decide if it is the one for you.
