"I live well on the desperation, misery, and incompetence that your educational system has created."

I've written toward a master's degree in cognitive psychology, a Ph.D. in sociology, and a handful of postgraduate credits in international diplomacy. I've worked on bachelor's degrees in hospitality, business administration, and accounting. I've written for courses in history, cinema, labor relations, pharmacology, theology, sports management, maritime security, airline services, sustainability, municipal budgeting, marketing, philosophy, ethics, Eastern religion, postmodern architecture, anthropology, literature, and public administration. I've attended three dozen online universities. I've completed 12 graduate theses of 50 pages or more. All for someone else.

- The Shadow Scholar, an anonymous article written for The Chronicle of Higher Education by a man who works for a college essay mill, churning out papers and theses for hire. The comments to the article are also (mostly) quite interesting. The author of the article participated in a live chat, answering questions from Chronicle readers.
