Charging for School Papers?

Question

Okay so before I get started I would just like to say that anyone who disagrees with what I'm discussing to just leave your comments at home and move onto another question.

Okay, so my school isn't really anything special.. and it's definitely not known for it's academics. So this brings me to my question. How much would you charge someone to write a paper, essay, etc. for them??

I get asked all the time to write papers for people and they'll pay me cause I'm a top student and I mean yeah yeah it's wrong and everything but sometimes I'm really tempted to do it. Also I only consider doing it for those I know and the people that are actually trying in class but are really slipping with their grades to a point where they really need my help. So I need to come up with a set of rules of how much I would charge for like the lengh, subject, and other stuff . Please Help!

P.S I don't care if you think I'm wrong cause your right but that's not really gunna change anything!

Answer 1

I know that I may not change your opinion on what you are doing, but please be very careful.  Not only can you get into A LOT of trouble for this, you are potentially setting up your "clients" to fail classes.  You sound like a smart kid, but this kind of thing will get you suspended or possibly expelled.  Considering that many universities require you to report any suspensions and/or expulsions on your application, this could mess up your entire future.

Again, not what you wanted to hear, but think about it.

An alternative to writing the papers would be volunteering to type and proofread.  Again, this could get morally gray, but wouldn't be crossing any lines.  I used to charge 2 dollars a page in high school to do that.

Answer 2

Your charge should be for your time and effort.  $10 an hour sounds about right
