Of course, then I'd be unemployed until we sorted things out and I'm not sure what I can do OTHER than teach college (I am not great enough at research for a research firm to want to hire me other than as the lowliest of techs, and that wouldn't pay my bills). <br /><br />I have also heard of cases of students suing those sell-a-paper firms when they turned in a bought paper that got the low grade it deserved....and I admit I feel a certain schadenfreude there. <br /><br />It also makes me sad that every fraudster out there with a degree they essentially paid for makes the one I worked for worth a little less.fillyjonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016436113169230368noreply@blogger.com
