You see... I don't think Jaune's father wanted him to be a Hunter. I think his father would have been proud of his son no matter what he became in adult life. It is Jaune and Jaune alone that has forced him down this path - his sense of inadequacy and inferiority. That would explain why Jaune was never taught how to use a weapon. I mean he said so himself, he was never even enrolled into schools like Sigil before entering Beacon.

Also, I think Ozpin is aware of Jaune's fake work but has looked over it for now. Chances are Jaune either new a friend of a friend or even sought out guys like Jr. or Lampwick. Yeah, Jaune definitely wouldn't have run in the same circles as those who had access to black market items, i.e. fake Beacon transcripts. However we saw a different side of Jaune in episode 12. I think a desperate Jaune is a very, very different Jaune than the 'loveable idiot' that we know.

If he was that desperate to live up to the family name I have no doubt Jaune could have gone to extreme lengths.
