However, as you stated, the problem is that you can't prove that you have a college degree.

Yup.

Find out from the school (not the collection agency, they won't have a clue) what it will take for you to get that diploma. Then do that.

It's quite possible you can lie your way into a job by just claiming the degree, plenty of employers don't bother to check. But at some point it will bite you in the arse, and when it does you will likely be summarily fired. It will also keep you from getting certain licenses, which often *do* require evidence.

So get that diploma.
