“Have you ever helped your classmate to do their homework with pay?”

It sounds weird but I did ask my classmate to pay me for doing their homework or project at school. I was just being honest, guys. When I was in university, my allowance is so tight. It is because my siblings and I were all studying in university at the same time. I am proud to say that my parents did their best to provide everything. “How about my personal expenses with friends or classmates?” “How about having extra cash for my school projects?” The only option I can do is to have work by doing my classmates’ homework or project. The rich students have it all and too lazy to their school works. They are willing to pay someone and not feel the hardships of doing it. I can’t afford to work in a fast food chain as a crew since I need to focus also on my studies. I am in a medical field and loaded with so many books on my study table. I can do others’ homework or project in between my leisure time. Nowadays, telecommuting jobs became popular and university students are indulging to earn extra cash. I might also indulge to it if this is available during my school days in university. “Did you ever pay someone to do your homework or project?” “Did someone pay you for helping them with his or her homework?” Image Credit: pixabay.com

No - I have never helped with pay. I helped without "aka" they copied.

@infatuatedbby My parents can provide the education. The intention during that time is to have extra cash for my personal needs.

When I was in primary and secondary school, they can copy my paper works. I don't mind about the money because I was a scholar way back then.

You did a good service and are resourceful to do so Shavkat. No I did my own work and made good grades thankfully.

I also do my best to have good grades. But these classmates of mine during that were so easy-go-licky individuals. I got the idea of letting them pay it because they offered payment for the help.

It sounds strange. When I was a student, we would just lend the homework for each other to copy and that's all. We seldom would do the homework for each other. And of course nobody would ask for money because we were all students and we didn't have much money actually.

@Shavkat We would not help the paper work for money when we were university students, too Perhaps it would ruin the friendship to talk about money for this kind of "help".

@youless To make it clear, my friend. They are not my friends. The transaction is strictly business. I didn't force them. Thus, they plainly asked my service.

It sounds weird but I can't consume my energy to do a research paper as a total package. It was in university days, my friend. It wasn't in primary and secondary school level.

I was never paid, though I wish I was (kidding). No, noone ever did, nor I asked. What is a friend if he/she keeps on asking money to do your work or help you out! And what is a friend that gives you money to do his/her work! Is the relation between you too is that of a buyer or seller? If friendship is all about money, then it should be replaced with the word investment. (*_*)

I have never paid someone to do one thing for me or the other way around. It wasn't an issue back then in our class that we share what we have or know. Most of our professors were lenient as well.

I know other students who paid an outsider to create and manipulate their thesis presentation. I was amazed at first because I worked so hard with ours. I almost wanted to go that route but i thought otherwise..

Some university students are too lazy doing their term papers or research papers that time. It was a total package and I was able to enhance my writing skills. My elementary and high school days had the same situation, there is nothing wrong to copy homework from each other.

I never had such an experience. But you are right. If you can help others and get paid by doing it then it is good. In fact I never thought about this before. Lol

I think it is fine to let our initiative works. I humbly say that it is better to do something during that those days.

I've charged $50/hour to help graduate students organize papers, set up research etc. But that was legit. I didn't write their papers. I was also a statistics tutor in college.

I must admit that I wanted to put up an agency like this kind of job. Some students are not so inclined to do their thesis, research paper, etc. I personally think it is a good business.

@TheHorse That's not also a good idea. They should be guided how to do it and not us to do it for them. That's cheating if I may say.

@Shavkat My sense of morals and ethics would never let me do more than tutor students when they need it. I was offered $25,000 to write a Thesis paper for a rich Middle Easterner at a certain local University. I refused him.

I don't mind what people will think, my friend. They had my service and intellectual property at the same time. These students are not that close personally. But then, I just render my full service to help them out with pay.

In high school, it is not allowed to do a report by himself or herself. It is always in a group. But then, I don't worry about allowances that time. The school is giving me an allowance and no feed to be paid because I am the scholar that time.
