When applying for a job, a worker faces two possible options: to tell the truth or to lie. Most models treat lying ability as innate; however, like all abilities, the ability to lie can be developed over time. If a worker has finite time to allocate between developing skills and lies, how will they choose to split their time, and how will this affect a firm's decision to hire? This paper develops an education signaling model with the two-dimensional ability for an applicant to develop skills and lies. The different distributions of costs to develop these abilities will provide insight into how firms react to uncertainty.
