re: the dwindling clients of academic writing services

Aug 22, 2022
It is not only the student clients that are dwindling in this case. Even the academic focused writers are veering away from this market due to the stress and uncertainty of income that comes with it. If they do not pound the pavement and become aggressive in going after clients, both company based or independent, they would not have any income for a whole week,let along a month. I have come across former academic writers who have chosen to leave the field for health and financial reasons. By moving into the more relaxed field of open writing, they manage to lessen the stress of revisions and sudden instructions changes. They also have a bigger take home pay since there are no penalties to be had.

Direct client communication and varied writing opportunities are really the way of the future as far as the diversified writers can tell. Academic writing starting losing clients during the pandemic and it has not stopped since. So the writers who are truly qualified to do more than just academic writing have moved on to far greener pastures at the moment.

The writers who choose to stick it out in academic writing will find the field continuing to dwindle, until they themselves will find it severely difficult to find clients even during the supposed hot seasons. Those hot seasons will disappear as well. We have inflation to thank for the shrinking of the student writing clients.

re: grace days for college students?

Aug 20, 2022
Giving these college students "mental health breaks", is unrealistic. Generations of professionals and laborers went through the educational system without having these "safe" allowances. If we had a hard time in class, we worked harder to become competitive. Studying was the solution to the "hard time". We did not have a safe space to go and cry because we did not like what the professor told us. We just accepted it and soldiered on. We dealt with deadlines as if our lives depended on it because the teachers would not offer any slack for the deadlines unless we were hospitalized. The educational system back them was meant to toughen us up for the real world. The kids today think social media and AR are a form of reality. They have no idea how to take tough love, critical observations, and straightforward rules. They have become too soft because we made them that way. They do not need grace periods or open deadlines. They need to know that they have to work within expected guidelines and deadlines because offices are not "safe spaces". Deadlines for businesses are set in stone. The client is not going to wait forever for them to feel better about completing the work. Safe spaces and grace periods? What a joke !

re: the dwindling clients of academic writing services

Aug 18, 2022
If a writer is solely reliant on academic writing for his clientele, then it does not matter if he is servicing local or international students. The result is the same, a limited number of students who avail of academic writing services. Do not misunderstand, there are regular inquiries regarding services per day. These inquiries rarely translate into actual orders though.

Even at adjusted prices, the students just do not seem to want to part with their allowances these days. Which makes it difficult for writers, regardless of company affiliation or independence, to achieve their monthly earning quota. Academic writers need to diversify into other fields of writing to make sure they do not end up with a permanent dry season.

The dwindling of clients has nothing to do with the writer's skill or talents. Our jobs that are recession proof, has proven to not be inflation proof. With the rise of the cost of living, so depreciated the value of the Dollar, Pound, Euro, among others. That depreciation is what prevents the students from taking the risk of hiring writers.

They just cannot afford to risk their allowances these days. It may spell the difference between rent and grades or food and grades. They can always work on their papers themselves and save the money for far more important expenses. Hiring academic writers do not rank in their survival list.

How do you know this?

I can attest to the claim about the background of company writers. When I hire company writers, I give specific background requirements to the company I am hiring. In turn, they send me a list of writers who have placed bids on my job order. Along with the list comes links within the company website to the resume of the writer. I can see everything in relation to their undergraduate, post graduate, seminars attended, and other relevant background information that can help me assess the qualifications of the applicant writer in relation to the listed and non-listed work requirements. While I cannot interview the writers personally, their background is enough to help me consider my top candidates. Once I have made my final choice, the writer is assigned to the task and we immediately communicate via the provided communication channel. There is nothing special about this procedure. A majority of the writing companies that I have successfully worked with have provided me with similar information during the writer vetting process. It helps me hire the most qualified writer (in my opinion) for the task.

re: the problem with independent writers

Aug 15, 2022
As an independent writer, I offer my clients unlimted revisions with one limitation. The revisions end when I know that the changes made to the essay, both upon client request and my own doing have reached the limit of what can be done within the original instructions of the paper. I make sure that they understand that revisions only apply to instructions that may have not been met, were short in representation, or requiring more discussion. This not apply to instructions that the client just wants to change because "I think it will make the paper better". I tell the client to let me be the judge of that since I am the one who had to do the research work, the writing, and will have to do the blending of all the information using additional or new material as requested. It does not cover the client changing his mind about the discussion approach. Normally I cut the client off after the 3rd revision request the changes being requested begin to sound like the paper is being resold to another student. I do not believe that the limited revision count should be considered a problem with independent writers. Students who do not wish to comply with such an agreement need not hire the writer.
freelancewriter  EssayChatAug 13, 2022
My problem, is that they have a revision number limitation as opposed to the companies that offer unlimited revisions.

No essay company in existence provides "unlimited (free) revisions." No legitimate essay company says that it offers "unlimited revisions"; but plenty of scam essay companies promise "unlimited revisions." That hardly means you're actually going to get those unlimited revisions when you request them. Many scam companies also offer "100% Refund-If-Not-Satisfied Guarantee." You're never going to get that "100% refund" if you tell them you're not satisfied with the work, either. There are plenty of threads on Essay Scam posted by customers sharing their experiences with these promises of "unlimited revisions" and "refund guarantees."

While some see the revision problem as something that happens only when ESL writers are hired, I see it as a problem that comes with my being a perfectionist. I want my paper, as written by someone else, to come out as if I were the one who actually wrote it. If it does not feel like I wrote it, then my professor will not be convinced I wrote it either. So I need the unlimited revision privilege offered by the writing companies.

Legitimate essay companies (and writers) will always provide free revisions if they actually make a mistake following the order details or project specs; but nobody is ever going to provide continued rounds of revisions just because you're a perfectionist. If you're willing to pay for continued revisions when we haven't made any mistakes following whatever specs you provided with the original order, we'll do them; otherwise, you're going to have to do them, yourself. Writers -- whether we write for companies or independently -- are always required to follow whatever specifications you provide with the order; but we're never obligated to provide free revisions if we didn't make any mistakes following your original instructions. You should never trust anybody who promises free "unlimited revisions."

They have become stricter when it comes to hiring their writers and the writer list they send me to choose from is composed of writers who come from relevant backgrounds.

As a customer, you're an outsider who's not actually privy to any inside information about how strict essay companies actually are in their hiring process or about how well (or whether) they actually check the background information and qualifications of their writers. How do you know this?

The independent writer tends to tell me what I want to hear and what I want to believe, even though that writer is secertly not confident he can deliver what I need, but tries to convince me otherwise.

Actually, I'm an independent writer who's been telling people on these forums for the last 14 years that no legitimate writer ever offers free unlimited revisions, even if you want to hear otherwise, because I'm honest. Any essay company (or writer) who claims to provide "unlimited revisions" (i.e. without mistake or fault in relation to following your original order specs) is telling you what you want to hear; and I can guarantee you that none of them is ever going to follow through if you ask them to make any after-the-fact editorial changes just because you're a perfectionist. Plenty of them won't even provide satisfactory revisions when they do make mistakes following your order specs. There are plenty of threads about that on Essay Scam, as well.

the problem with independent writers

Aug 13, 2022
I understand that hiring independent writers comes with financial benefits for the students. They can charge lower prices per page when compared to the essay writing companies because of the lack of a dealer conduit. They also offer better after sales service and are more attentive when revisions as requested. My problem, is that they have a revision number limitation as opposed to the companies that offer unlimited revisions.

While some see the revision problem as something that happens only when ESL writers are hired, I see it as a problem that comes with my being a perfectionist. I want my paper, as written by someone else, to come out as if I were the one who actually wrote it. If it does not feel like I wrote it, then my professor will not be convinced I wrote it either. So I need the unlimited revision privilege offered by the writing companies.

It has become easier over time for me to find the writer who can easily satisfy my needs through writing companies. They have become stricter when it comes to hiring their writers and the writer list they send me to choose from is composed of writers who come from relevant backgrounds. Something that I cannot be sure of when I hire an independent writer.

The independent writer tends to tell me what I want to hear and what I want to believe, even though that writer is secertly not confident he can deliver what I need, but tries to convince me otherwise. Then silly me hires the writer because of the low cost of the total order. You know what happens next...

re: the dwindling clients of academic writing services

Aug 12, 2022
At first I carried the belief that the student clients would be back as soon as the pandemic was over and everyone was back to the formal school set up. Then, classes reopened and I still found myself short of regular clients to keep me afloat from month to month. Something strange was going on and I needed to find out what it was. Then I realized that everything had to do with the pandemic.

During the pandemic, students were locked at home, without allowances, and yet still attending classes. They had enough free time on their hands to learn how to properly research and write their papers on their own since they did not need to travel to and from school anymore and the teachers were giving them open deadlines that they could work with, just because of the unnatural class set up that was being experienced at the time.

The students actually learned how to write their papers since they had nothing more to do, parents limited their screen time, parents actually had time to supervise the study habits of their children at that point since they also had a WFH set up, and the students did not have any allowance with which they could hire writers.

The result? A more learning prepared and studious generation of students ended up being produced by the pandemic. These students actually know how to write their papers now. The pandemic proved to be the bigger enemy of the writing companies and academic writers. It created students who actually know how to study, much to the detriment of our income.

re: honorlock and taking exams in a new era of education

Aug 12, 2022
The schools and universities may start to back off from using these tracking apps since the students are almost all back in face to face classroom settings. So there will not be much of a chance for the students to cheat at this point. It is back to the normal way of doing things in the classroom. Meaning there will once again be physical exam proctors present during exams and the computers that will be used are on site and locked to a LAN setting. Gone are the days of being able to openly cheat when taking exams. Hello strict exam control, you were sorely missed. Writers who take tests remotely for students will find themselves challenged to continue that service once the whole world returns to the standard ways of doing things at school, with some slight alterations to the way it is done. Honorlock is not a program that has a long lifespan. It is only good for as long as the pandemic keeps students out of school and within a remote learning setup.

re: why i will hire a uk academic consultancy office instead

Aug 6, 2022
Let us face the facts here. The UK has the most stringent educational system in the world. It is embedded in ancient tradition and is complex enough to make the heads of students educated elsewhere spin in confusion. The UK produces some of the brightest minds in the world, regardless of the field they are working in. These academic and professional accomplishments can only be achieved through proper education and training. Students in the UK put in the effort required to get the knowledge and training that they need.

Writer's outside the UK cannot help them achieve their academic goals because they do not understand the requirements of our universiities when it comes to paper completion. Sure there may be some less than stellar students who will be satisfied with US writer's pretending to be proficient in UK writing, but the lack of educational background will also come through in end and the professors will identify that. The student will get the marking he deserves.

If he finds it difficult to complete his paper, then go ahead and consult with UK academic professionals. They can assist in the writing but cannot write the paper for you. They know the law and will never violate our academic honesty oath. Write for yourself and be proud of the grade you acquired, even if you had to consult some UK professionals in actual UK learning offices to accomplish this.

the dwindling clients of academic writing services

Aug 4, 2022
Well, the days of endless and assured income within a recession proof occupation seems to be coming to an end. Academic writing companies are closing shop left and right. The result of either poor company management or the enaction of anti academic writing company laws that penalize the company and / or the student in various countries have affected the income of both the freelancers and the company writers. It is more difficult to access clients these days as schools and universities have now taken to issuing the laptops and tablets of their students. These learning tools are often loaded with academic spyware that trace the moves of the students and report it back to academic authorities. Forcing the students to be more honest about how their papers are written and who is actually taking their tests. Academic honesty has gone to a whole new level ever since the pandemic lockdowns forced remote learning, with more supervision to become the norm of learning. So tell me, how are other writers fairing these days? Do you share the same observations as I do?

grace days for college students?

Jul 31, 2022
I wondering how many of us would appreciate having grace days for the submission of academic papers in college? This is one of the rising trends in Singaporean universities. It was actually their students who indicated a desire to have such an academic arrangement with their professors. They claim that this allowance will help support their mental health seeing as how competitive and workload heavy their academic calendars are. The idea, is to not have a fixed deadline for the submission of papers or, allowing for late submissions without grading penalty for the students. I am not in favor of this leeway even as I am a student myself. I believe that this would reward irresponsibility and send the wrong message to the students. It is ok to submit your requirements late, we understand. The real world does not work that way. You miss a deadline at the office, there will be hell to pay. I should know. I am a student who attends school part time and works full time. Shouldn't university be the training ground for real life work situations? Why give academic grace periods when the office will not give professional grace periods?

re: honorlock and taking exams in a new era of education

Jul 31, 2022
I am one of those parents who mistakenly gave my son an extension credit card. While he was responsibly using the card for the most part during his early college days, I later began receiving charges from strange sounding companies. When I looked further into the charges he was incurring, I discovered that he was partying away his days at college, skipping classes, and almost missing exams. However, his grades where not reflecting these for some reason. Turns out, he had gotten into the habit of hiring academic writers to complete his writing tasks, and taking exams for him. These were the days before honorlock and click tracking apps. While I was angry at the time of discovery, I could not help but be amazed at his skills when it came to producing as expected in college. When he asked me "Wasn't the point to simply not fail my classes? What is the big deal? I am going to work for the family company anyway." I found myself speechless and without a reason to oppose him. After he graduated without knowing anything, but I am sure his writer would have been able to run the company better than him, since he attended the classes for him, he realized his mistake when he was expected to perform at work already. Being the boss' son means nothing when you cannot perform the tasks the job requires, even after having attend a private university. I wish Honorlock were around when he was in college, I bet he would have not wasted my money on hiring academic services to pass his semesters.

re: why i will hire a uk academic consultancy office instead

Jul 30, 2022
Having had traumatic experiences myself during the times when I hired overseas writers and academic companies, I can understand why a fellow student would lean towards a home grown academic consultancy service instead. As UK students, we now have the protection of the law when it comes to dealing with academic professionals. Their duties and responsibilities have been laid out by the significant law. If they violate the law, we have legal rights that we can use against them. The fact that the only thing the law does not support is academic writing means that the relevant parties have acknowledged the need for academic assistance, and where the line must be drawn.

They decided to draw the line at academic writing. Since we have subject advisers at school who can guide us in the learning process, the academic consultants are considered an extension of that service. They can assist in the development of the content, but we have to write the paper ourselves. It means we continue to learn and develop our necessary skills as students and future professionals. Something that is prevented when hired writers are used to complete the papers. This is a good idea since the writing companies and independent writers have a distinct possiblity of undertaking criminal activities against the student later on.

Am I the only one who noticed that Freelancewriter went from more than 20 years of service down to 14 plus years? Or is it 14 plus years only for the UK and other countries in his roster of "clients"?

You're just the only one who's grasping at straws and deliberately using my words out of context in your prolonged, one-sided, totally unprovoked defamatory campaign against me, apparently, for the great sin of simply being somewhat successful at this job. I've been writing academic projects professionally since 2000. My comment about my 14-year REPUTATION was a reference to my reputation on the EssayScam FORUM, which I first joined 14 years ago in 2008 under the exact same ID that I'd been using as an essay-company writer since 2003, when I first started writing for essay companies.

Why is Harper helping to perpetrate a lie at this chat? Am I the only one who noticed that Freelance writer went from more than 20 years of service down to 14 plus years? Or is it 14 plus years only for the UK and other countries in his roster of "clients"? He cannot even keep his lies straight anymore so he is contradicting himself and revealing himself for the liar that he is. Based on his misdeclarations, the students should see that there is something dishonest about his claims. It should lead to them questioning his reliability and truthfulness. Can he really be trusted to do anything or say anything without lying about it? It is difficult to trust someone who cannot even remember how long he has been in the writing business. These changing references are what will affect his status as a revered writer in the eyes of students and potentially new clients. Nobody has to say anything to do that. He seems to be effectively harming his professional image on his own.

Oh come on! Do not pretend that you are not one of the paid hacks that came over to this forum and chat to discredit one of our most reliable and skilled independent writers. It is even possible that you belong to the same writing company as a1writer.

Thanks Harper. I don't know who you are; but you're obviously very familiar with essayscam and with my (hard-earned) 14-year record of providing only the best-quality writing to all of my clients here in the US and in the UK and elsewhere abroad. The "a1writer" troll on essayscam is just the latest of about a dozen different IDs that RustyIronChains, Editor75, UKLawEssay, OrchidGoblin, Cruciandiem, and Jeannie have used, most of which have been banned. Just check the profile for each of those IDs and note (1) the respective last date that each posted before being banned, (2) the respective date that each new ID took over, and (3) the very first post of each new ID, which almost always was right in the same thread as the last post under the previous ID and almost always, simply picked up the exact same line of attack against me, as though this is remotely-believable behavior (and coincidence) for a "new" person joining a forum for the first time. The a1writer troll to whom you're referring is obviously the same person behind about a dozen anonymous IDs on this forum, including "Mila" and "Ava" and the IDs that he used to post his earlier screeds about writers who are "narcissists." Unlike him, I only post under a single ID on both forums and I stand behind everything I post, because it's the truth.

Until now, I've been carefully avoiding commenting about who Noted actually is, because I wasn't looking to antagonize the company that owns both of these forums, since I advertise with them. But, for some reason, Noted has now decided to pile on and encourage and goad a1writer to continue and to escalate his unprovoked attacks. They definitely don't work for the same company; but, for now, I'll continue to refrain from explaining who Noted obviously does work for and exactly how anybody can confirm that for himself, totally independently and without having to take my word about anything. Hopefully, Noted just stops validating and encouraging that jealous troll, so I won't have to provide all the evidence about what company Noted works for and what his obvious role is on essayscam. If he continues his recent pattern, I'll have to do that, just to protect myself against his purposely trying to confer credibility to a single jealous troll who already stalks my website and creates an endless list of new IDs on both of these forums for the sole purpose of attacking me and trying to undermine my extremely good 14-year reputation as an honest, highly-experienced writer who has always provided exactly what I'm paid for and who never takes any projects (from any country) that I can't take on in high confidence and good conscience.

It is even possible that you belong to the same writing company as a1writer. Yes, I know you are referring to Freelancewriter in your unwarranted post. There was truly no need for you to come to this chat and declare your thoughts about one of the pillars of the academic writing industry who helps the students in the UK all the way from the US.

What is the big deal? Your country does not allow academic writers to help students. The UK students can find help in America, so they take it. They will take the help whereever they can. That is what a student who honestly wants to pass in school does. He seeks academic help where he can find it and will use it without a second thought. You have been caught acting as a shill in this chat. Go fade into oblivion you fool !

why i will hire a uk academic consultancy office instead

Jul 26, 2022
I came to this forum to look up a particular writer who came highly recommended by my friend. Being from the UK, it is difficult for me to find an academic consultancy that can provide me with my actual writing needs. The laws of my country have all but prevented the use of writing companies for academic assistance. So you will understand my excitement when my peer told me about an American independent writer who would help me achieve the results I wanted. While I was both eager to learn more about this person and also sceptical at the same time about the recommendation because I do not believe that a non-UK bred writer would be able to provide my academic needs, I decided to give my friends recommendation a look. What do I have to lose right?

What I found over days of observing and reading varied opinions and discussions between the 3 active people at Essay Scam provoked me to go to my friend and enlighten him about this writer that he trusts almost implicity. The writer does not have any care for the privacy of his client records, lies about his UK client base and (I assume) his actual UK academic writing abilities. He also does not know the meaning of diplomacy and how to deal with opinions and observations that run counter to his own. He does not function well when asked legitimate questions and assumptions from his co forum participants. He does not have the British temperament that I look for in a writer, which can also be seen by our professors in the papers that we write. Rather than winning me over, this liar lost me as a client. I made sure my friend knew the same and cautioned against using him further in the future. I was told that there will definitely be a rethinking of using this person's services. Well and good.

Maybe my friend was satisfied with the grades delivered because as a student he was never one of the bright ones in our class anyway. It was always enough for him to not fail the class at the end of term. I do not function that way. Knowing what I know now, I will seek academic assistance from legitimate UK companies instead. If they can teach me how the write the paper and assist me in some way without breaking the law, then I will be a better student for it.

re: the clear advantage of the writer bidding system

Jul 25, 2022
I do not believe that the writer bidding system is infalliable. In fact, I believe that the writer's can also get around the vetting system just by presenting fake credentials to the company. I mean, does anybody really believe that the companies bother to double check the information submitted to them? Does the company honestly believe that everything in the transcript that that the writer submitted is honest?

Knowing that these documents can easily be faked should make these companies think twice about the writer's that they allow to bid on a project. I mean, I have come across writers who claim to be experts in fields of writing, only to have the paper they submitted to me result in gibberish. Unusable in any way.

While the writer may think it would pass muster in his home country, it would not even pass as a high school paper on the educated side of the world. Do not build up the writer bidding system to be what it is not. Everything has faults, even company affiliated writers.

re: honorlock and taking exams in a new era of education

The best thing to do would be for students to refuse to be surveilled during exams.

I think the correct question to be asking is if the parents agreed to have their children surveilled. That is regardless of whether the equipment in question is school or personal property. Children have privacy rights just like their parents. The difference is, the parents know that they have the right to complain about illegal surveillance but their kids do not.

Being underaged means that it is up to the parents to protect their students rights and privacy. If the parents did not agree to this at a PTA meeting and there is no signed agreement between the school and the parents, then the school has no right to observe the keypad strokes and mouse clicks of the student, regardless of the scenario.

The kids may be too afraid of school authorities to fight for their rights, even if the app that is spying on them makes them uncomfortable. So they will more than likely accept what they know they cannot change. Their parents should know otherwise and act upon it.

re: the clear advantage of the writer bidding system

Jul 24, 2022
The writer bidding system is one of the best ways to weed out the pretenders from the legitimate writers. There are independent writers who have so much hubris, they believe they can write on any topic, regardless of his or her actual academic background. These are the writers who end up using the cut and paste Wikipedia pages to complete the work. Independent writers are usually the biggest culprits, you are right about that. I would never trust an independent writer. They lie everyday of their lives to gain clients that they no longer remember what their actual writing background truth is. They will say what they have to to get the job. They seem to think that they can worry about meeting the client's needs after they are hired. Company writers cannot do that because the writers are required to submit documentation regarding their educational attainment. They would never be allowed to bid on orders that are not within their academic training.

I believe this is an invasion of the student's privacy

There could be some truth to this suspicion. The system requires a spyware type of app to attach to the computer of the student. It follows his every move and reports on it to the school authorities. If the student and his parents did not give any consent to this type of surveillance, then there is definitely an invasion of privacy happening. This is difficult to prove though since nobody has come forward to complain about the use of the system yet. Unless a student files a formal complaint with the relevant authorities, a test case cannot be tried to prove the validity of the claim. This leads to my question, does the student even realize that such "observation" of his actions are taking place and being recorded? There are times when school authorities tend to overstep their bounds and using the Honorlock system is not an exception. The best thing to do would be for students to refuse to be surveilled during exams. An app cannot take the place of an actual proctor. Online testing comes with its drawbacks and the ability to easily cheat is one of these. If the school does not like it, then they should require in classroom and in person (just to be specific) exams for all their students.

the clear advantage of the writer bidding system

Jul 21, 2022
I have tried the direct writer hiring route and been burned several times by liars. These writers would claim that they are capable of writing the paper that I need. Giving me the impression that they are highly capable of working on papers even though they are not graduates of the course that I am taking. I thought I would give them a chance because they have been long in the business and came well recommended by my peers. Well, I threw away money using these direct hires.

Once I decided to go with a writing company, I found that I had the advantage of looking into the actual academic background of the writer. Also, the company made sure that only writers with relevant educational backgrounds bid on my projects. I was not able to interview the writers this time but their resumes told me all I needed to know. I have not had a problem since I went the writer bidding route. It is the best way, in my opinion, to get the writer you actually need.

re: honorlock and taking exams in a new era of education

It gets even worse. This program in particular also notes how the student uses his web browser during the test. It can actually detect if the student is cheating by accessing online help from tutors, websites, or those so called "assignment help" sites that post answers to old test questions. Somehow, it manages to identify what the student is doing, then triggers a note on the teracher's side to inform of the actions. It is a program meant to help prevent cheating in a time of learning where there are sometimes no real classrooms to speak of anymore. It offers proof of academic dishonesty should the teacher decide to make life even harder for the student by reporting him to the school authorities instead of giving him a second chance. I can understand why teachers would feel that this program is helpful to them. It prevents the students from cheating, even if there is no proctor present. The problem, is that I believe this is an invasion of the student's privacy since he is on his personal computer using his personal internet, and is therefore, subject to privacy laws, which this program clearly violates. Am I right about this?

re: college education v. certification courses

Jul 20, 2022
I do not see why you cannot coax your child to do both. I know I did with my kid and he eventually discovered the benefits of being both college educated and certified for his workplace. The college education makes him more employable as a white collar worker since he has all the requisites for entry level positions and early promotion consideration. The Coding certificates have helped him gain an edge over his office competitors who find themselves underqualified even as they have enough certifications to fill the wall of the house. The main reason the certified employees get passed over is the non-existnce of their college degree. Which is the basis of executive and leadership positions in any office. While he might be able to get himself on the financial freedom fast track with just the certifications, those will only get him so far in the professional world. We still live in an era where college still carries some weight. Unless you are Mark Zuckerberg who uses the money of his investors along with the talent, and skills of his underlings, who are either college graduates (in executive positions) or coding certified (for rank and file), or both (sometimes) to make himself look better than he actually is within his social media domain.

re: honorlock and taking exams in a new era of education

This is nothing new. Universities have been using similar technology since the early 2000's when remoted learning was just getting started. It was something that did not work very well back then because of the limitations of the program and the way that the hired writers could be classmates, working on the exams from the school library or something. As long as the IP was located in the same state, there was no need to worry about getting into the system. These days though I find that I have to use a VPN service to help mask my actual location, for the benefit of my client. Does it always work? It works most of the time. What I do is, I test the system a few days before the test date so I can let the client know if I can safely access the exam center or not. Where my IP is detected, I cancel the gig. When the student is asked, he can deny having given his information to anyone and blame it on a hack.

Those kids should be encouraged to follow the most direct career path and to obtain as many related certifications as possible

A parent is expected to encourage their kids to follow their dreams and support their ambitions because that is what will be good for the child. So, if this means that he will not follow the traditional path to gaining employment, support it. He does not need judgement from you. What he does need is your guidance. Do not let your fear of the changing employment landscape destroy your relationship with your child. Just because we do not fully understand how the new world of employment works does not mean it is a bad thing. It just means it is beyond our scope of understanding. I mean, a McDonald's burger flipper is not facing a dead end career. He can be a store manager one day, and a corporate executive the next. Why? The company supports relevant education for their employees. They hire from within. That is what you should be doing too. Supporting the talent that you can see right in front of you. Your child knows that his financial freedom rests not in boring college courses. Even a 15 year old with a fantastic app idea can become an overnight millionaire these days. Coding is the future of employment. Do not hinder your child's future because of your own fears.
