I’m looking for someone to help me with my paper for school will talk about the work I need to be done. Willing to pay $50-100 for paper.
- Location: Las Vegas
- it’s ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
- Compensation: 50-100
Man. Does anyone do his own homework anymore? This is really depressing. Every time I access Craigslist I find students unwilling to write papers or do homework. Is it laziness?
I can accept there are people who don’t enjoy writing. I didn’t enjoy math but that doesn’t mean I had someone else do the work. Every time I visit a professional nowadays, I wonder if he hired someone to do the work for him. Does it scare anyone else that their doctors or lawyers might have gotten through school paying someone else to do the work?
It’s laziness, plus the horrible educational system that does not teach the average student to research or write, and all this is coupled to the lack of a role model or example of a personal code of ethics, so any corner cut is an advantage gained. Pretty sickening. And yes, when I go to these lame, indifferent doctors we run into a lot of the time, I wonder if they cheated! Then, of course, I can read in the New Yorker about how hard they work and how they go home and puzzle endlessly over these fascinating ailments and how to identify and cure them. So who knows…I hope I don’t run into these stupid little weenies in some life-affecting capacity, but I probably already have.
Some commenters here will no doubt try to rationalize this ad by pointing out the word “help,” and claim the poster is really only looking for guidance… how cold of you to discourage this! To me, “the work I need to be done” and “willing to pay $50-100 for paper” make the poster’s intentions clear. He wants someone to “help” him dodge the requirements of his degree and pass the class by writing the paper for him. For anyone who thinks this is OK, I can only hope for your sake that your doctor doesn’t.
I read an essay in an English class a long time ago by a repentant former paper mill writer about what kinds of students she wrote for before she quit. There really were kids trying to become doctors, lawyers, anything you could think of, and it was SCARY. A lot of them treated her like dirt on top of it all (telling her she should be doing it for free if she said anything about liking the topic, for instance).
It was really interesting. I’ll have to see if I can find it again.
I know someone who got into med school this way. I will NEVER see a doctor with this man’s name now. Ever.
Thank goodness my specialist really seems to know her stuff. However, I fight the urge to actually ask my GP questions like that.
I honestly think I will if I ever have to look for a new doctor. “Excuse me Dr. Soandso. Did you write your own papers in medical school? No? Thanks for your time!”.
I often wonder if the students allow enough time to check over the papers, or just hand them in as is. I keep thinking, “isn’t there some fun to be had here?”.
