Yep. Ask for some rediculous ammount of money. Say that you tutor to make extra money, and your rates are like, $250.00 a day. If you still get the job, then use an SAT study book from your local bookstore to plan your lessons, and enjoy the extra money.

Your employer would fire you upon the discovery that you lied about an SAT score? Do the requirements of your job include scoring in the top percentile of standardized tests?

I think the problem here is not the fear of getting fired (because this reason for termination is ridiculous) but instead is the fear of embarrassment when you have to come clean.

Just tell your employer you aren’t interested in tutoring his son. He can’t force you to do this, unless your job is, in fact, a tutor for his son. In which case, use your head and realize you shouldn’t have take the job you are unqualified for.

If you are not employed as a tutor, the issues you’ve stated here are moot.
