KMTV Action 3 News ^ | Feb 20, 2015 | Emily Szink

OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) - According to a "U.S. News and World Report" around 75 percent of college students admit to cheating.

And ever since the age of the Internet, cheating has gone high-tech.

But now a website that is quickly gaining popularity makes it even easier to type in a URL, sit back and get an “A.”

“It cost me about $20 to create the website and after my first week of launching the website I had already made $3000,” said the creator of paymetodoyourhomework.com, Jessica Mott.

New York native Jessica Mott went from making $30 an hour tutoring, to making well over half-a-million dollars after creating the website paymetodoyourhomework.com.

So many mandatory classes are there only to keep certain departments and teachers employed, having zero to do with making you employable or related to your major. Tis lets you concentrate on your core, and not having to deal with seless extraneous classes.

Where I work, we give more weight to a degree from University of Phoenix than we do to on-line operations (where tests are taken on-line), regardless of the college running it, and that isn’t saying much.

Students in high school were in to rampant cheating YEARS ago. When I tried to get it stopped, the administration and parents went after ME.

About ten years ago, I worked one semester for a for-profit university (not one of the common big-names). In their orientation they spent more than half of the time discussing academic integrity, that it was to be strictly adhered to, that all examples were to be sent to the administration, etc. I was impressed by their concern. For the first written assignment in my classes, 1/3 of the students fully or mostly plagiarized, and I followed the college protocol for every student. I was not invited back the next semester.

I'm going to go out on a bit of a limb here and speculate that your major wasn't English. :)

Others who have tried such businesses have been brought to trial and convicted for their role in committing misrepresentation and fraud.

I use to love that show when I was a kid. And I do find that being smart is an incredibly sexy quality in a woman.

Still, I prefer to date women who aren't lesbians.

As stated and believed by many FReepers:
If you ain't cheating you ain't trying hard enough!
