college education v. certification courses

Jun 28, 2022

Call me old school or a traditionalist. I was raised to understand that with college comes the opportunity to gain proper employment and in the process, create a stable financial future for myself and my family. I have 2 kids, with the older one slated to graduate from a 4 year course in 2 years time. He is my pride and joy since he chose to follow in my footsteps and take a college course relevant to the family business, which he hopes to help me run after graduation. Now, for my youngest "lost" son. My jack of all trades, master of none.

He has decided to tell me that he is not going to attend college and will instead, focus his efforts on "Coding" certifications and training. He apologized for not being interested in a 4 year course but he feels that his talents and skills lie more in the computer "white hat" hacking field.

He has me thoroughly confused at this point. I cannot understand why he thinks not having a college degree will help him gain a future far better than his older brother's. Can someone please help enlighten me about this?

I am ready to pull the plug on any study fees my youngest may incur if I have to. I am not paying for courses that will result in him living for free in my basement for the foreseeable future.

re: russia government scholarship

Jun 28, 2022

Why not pick a different country to study in? Russia is simply under too many sanctions at the moment for it to be looking at a quick fix to its economic and educational isolation at the moment. The educational isolation is something Russia started in its own because they chose to leave the international / European standard. They were not asked to leave the system, the did it to prove a point. A point that is clear only to their educational experts I guess. As far as everyone else is concerned, Russia will not be missed and neither will their scholarship program. It isn't like there are no other more validated and useful scholarship available in various forms from that region. Nobody should be interested in learning anything from the Russians at this point. Their educational system may have been good, but I am sure it will go downhill fast at this point. I would not have even known that they had an international scholarship if I did not come across this post.

re: general writing administration

Jun 27, 2022

While students have the option to hire several specialist writers during the semester to ensue aproper spread and quality of work, hiring a single writer for overall requirements makes for a good option. More so if the student is working with an extremely tight budget. There are actually benefits to living a general writer.

1. All work packets can be submitted at one time to one writer who has proven to be capable of completing all the writing requirements.

2. The student will need to keep tabs of writing progress under only 1 writer rather than supervising several writers.

3. It is easier to coordinate changes and edits to the paper since only 1 writer is in charge.

4. The writing tone and skill of the student will be standard / uniform across all the classes. It eliminates any possible hired writer suspicion among the student's teachers.

5. Discounted costing from the writer who can negotiate a median price with the student based on bulk order considerations.

re: aas return to home country problem

Jun 27, 2022

I know that the Burmese students are filled with apprehension at having to go back home with an uncertain future. Luckily, Canada seems to be very understanding of their plight. While it would be preferable that these students go back to Myanmar, they will not be forced to do so against their will. They can look into other visa options that would allow them an extended stay in Canada, under different visa regulations.

The problem is that these options may require them to go home first and apply for the new visa. It will entail expenses of course. New applications mean new documentation, new visa fees, among other expenses. It would be even more expensive if the student tries to change his visa after it expires and he has not left Canada. That would entail hiring a lawyer to represent the student. Which means spending on unimaginable charges and fees.

Based on there I choices, the student can decide which would be more financially feasible for them, considering they came to Canada as financially sponsored students.

re: russia government scholarship

Jun 24, 2022

I recently read an article that announced Russia was leaving the European Educational Standard system of education. They plan to develop their own system and standard for their academic curriculum. I am not sure if this is related to the Ukraine issue and the international sactions. As a potential graduate student though, I would put the brakes on pursuing this scholarship for now. One might end up with a worthless certification in the future. I am opting to wait things out and see if the problem will sort itself out. I consider this a sad development on my part because I am a huge Russian history buff who had hoped to immerse myself totally into their culture and historical studies as only on an onsite immersion will allow. The RGS was the path I was going to take to achieve my learning goals. I am now having to put my academic plans on hold because of world events beyond my control.

re: aas return to home country proble

Jun 23, 2022

Honor the visa agreement. Go back where you came from because that was the deal you said yes to when you accepted the scholarship. There should not be any problem with going home since you are a citizen of the country. There is nothing to stop you from fulfilling the final part of the scholarship requirement. It will just be under a new government, new rules, and leadership. Your country should still have a chance to develop in all aspects and you should be a party to it. Be patriotic. Do not abandon the country in it's time of need. Fight the system from within. Without people to help improve the situation, the country becomes hopeless and dead. There will always be a need for your expertise and leadership.Do not deny your countrymen the intellectual transference opportunity. Share your knowledge. Do not be afraid of going back. You still have family there right? Do not abandon them. Do not protect only yourself.

re: russia government scholarship

Jun 17, 2022

After 6 months, I still did not have a grasp of the language basics.

I believe that the language proficiency requirement is the main tool that the scholarships use to weed out the tourists from the actual students. By insisting that they learn to speak and read in the native language, the students realize if they are in over their heads. It isn't difficult just for RGS scholars.

All scholars to countries with a language requirement find it difficult to comply. Their free tour normally ends after the language proficiency test comes out. Going back to RGS. If one does survive the gruelling language training, the next step becomes easier.

Actual study, research, and work training become a breeze. Do not think for a moment that you will have to speak and read in Russian all the time. They are proficient English speakers and there are English reading materials though not a priority in school.

English is always used by foreigners and Russians alike in a social setting. Russian is more often used in the professional and academic setting.

aas return to home country problem

Jun 17, 2022

I am currently a recipient of the Australia Awards Scholarship. I am slated to return to my home country at the end of this academic year. My problem, is that I do not have a country to return to. Well, technically, my country, Myanmar, still exists, but not in the state that I left it in. It is under military rule, making it difficult for me to return and fulfill my promise of helping my country develop after finish my Australia studies. Here lies my problem. Aside from the problem with the governance of my country, my student visa will also expire, forcing me to return to Myanmar whether I like it or not. As of now, I do not want to return to my country because there is no future for me there. I am not alone in thinking this. There are more of us who will be graduating faced with this problem. Should we return to Myanmar as agreed upon when we received the scholarship or, should I we try to figure out to change our visa permit so that we can remain in Australia where we are safe from harm? Are there other AAS scholars who visit this chat? Do any of you have some words of wisdom to share with us?

re: russia government scholarship

Jun 16, 2022

The language is certainly formidable. Having to learn a whole new alphabet and learning how to identify these characters as text will not be simple for students who see the scholarship as a way to see the country for free. Admittedly, Russia is not a popular study destination for most because they have a closed cultural policy. Very little is known about them and they seem to like it that way. Unlike the Koreans and Japanese who actively promote their culture based on entertainment value, or European nations that sell the students on the tourist idea of their study experience. Unless you are willing to spend time actually learning the language and studying, RGS is not the scholarship for you. I am one of the few that managed to complete the study course in Russia, having fulfilled all of the qualifying requirements. It was definitely a unique experience that sent me back to my home country with a new way of looking at the world, my profession, and how Russia is not really the bad guy that the other countries try to portray them to be.

re: beware of writers who gaslight students

Jun 15, 2022

Is there a difference between writers who gaslight students and writers that are narcissists?

These writers are the ones that normally blackmail and harass the student. That is why the student needs to protect all his identifiable data when placing an order.

Avoid asking for a free cover page because that page alone has enough information about you that can be used to gaslight you. Whatever page formatting you can do yourself, do not have the writer do for you. That means no cover page and no headers either. Once they get your name, class name, and professor,the gaslighting can commence.

Remember that everything free comes with a greater personal cost later on. That, is what a gaslighting writer is an expert at doing. Consider thir a friendly warning to protect yourself online at all times.

re: beware of writers who gaslight students

Jun 14, 2022

Is there a difference between writers who gaslight students and writers that are narcissists? I cannot tell them apart because they seem to share the same personality traits. They both try to control the students by making the students feel inadequate and lacking in all academic capacities. Both carry a sense of self importance that evolves to the point where they use psychological terrorism to control the client. They tend to "forgive" clients for imagined infractions that they use to blackmail the poor students. Students who have weak psychological capacities tend to get deeper and deeper into the bullying relationship with the gaslighting narcissist. A cycle that sometimes becomes hard to break because of the fear of failure or being reported to the school authorities. These are the writers who traumatize the students to the point where they no longer wish to seek writing help and instead, would rather accept a failing mark in class for their honest writing effort. These gaslighters and narcissists are the ones that give legitimate academic writers a bad reputation.

re: russia government scholarship

Jun 9, 2022

I was an unsuccessful participant in the Russia Government Scholarship Program. I was not unsuccessful because I failed the course. I, sadly, did not even get that far.

The first year of the course is dedicated to learning Russian. All their courses are non- English courses so learning the language is a must. The scholarship is similar to other non- English programs in that aspect. It is a rigorous learning process that in mentally challenging. I found myself literally revering my brain to learn the language. After 6 months, I still did not have a grasp of the language basics. As someone who considers himself a polyglot, I found this unacceptable. I left the program soon after.

Now I realize I should have tried harder. It is the most difficult scholarship to get into. I had already been accepted into the university. My future was at stake and I let the language proficiency requirement beat me. I had already won more than half the game. I am still kicking mepelf about it today. I wasted an opportunity not given to most.

re: are all academic writers narcissists?

Jun 7, 2022

I believe that the job heightens the narcissistic tendencies of the writers who already have the narcissist character within them. It is a job that keeps people mostly isolated so they forget how to handle face to face relationships. They are also more used to being the boss on the job, with no accountability to anyone, not even their clients who have to pay upfront for the service. The fact that the job is done remotely, without ever having a chance to go face to face with the client is what heightens their ego and their narcissistic tones. They take comfort in the protection that the anonimity provides them while allowing them to earn an income, regardless of whether they deliver an acceptable product or not. They merely ignore the poor students who get the brunt of their narcissism when they try to get proper work done via primary instructions / revision requests, or request for a refund. In a way, I guess the title of this chat is correct. Academic writers are narcissists.

re: general writing administration

Jun 7, 2022

It is not advisable to hire just one writer for all your writing needs. Each writer has a specialization. There is no one writer who can write it all, regardless of how he tries to convince you of such. Hire a writer depending on your needs. Do not place any writer on a retainer. That is a con that you should not believe.

He may be outsourcing your paper for all you know, splitting the profits with the unknown writer who did the actual work. Do not help him start his writing company by getting his capital from you. Never use the same writer more than twice. That is when he starts to think that he is your exclusive writer already and his CPP will start to break the ceiling and your bank account.

There will never be a logical reason for you to ever need a general writing administrator. That title and position has never existed in the academic writing industry. Do not fall for such foolishness.

re: russia government scholarship

Jun 6, 2022

I know what you mean. This is the only international scholarship that asks the applicant to pass the qualifying entrance exam to the university before the student can even begin the actual application process. A test must be taken for each university you want to consider attending and you have to pass the tests and wait for the university to invite you to attend their institution. No test, no invitation, no application. Talk about fierce!

Tourists who like to masquerade as professional students are not welcome to participate in this program. The student stipend is minimal, accomodations are very simple, and student movement is not as free as in other countries. You are there to study, not tour on the governments dime anyway. This is one scholarship that is not for the faint of heart. You need to be a dedicated student with a true interest in Russia to make it into program.

RGS makes all the other international scholarships look like a joke. When comparing requirements side by side, the others look like they will admit just about anybody into their program.

re: are all academic writers narcissists?

Jun 5, 2022

There used to be 6 narcissists here more or less who took great pains to support each others horrible attitudes to the point where they thought that they were the only ones who comprised the " legitimate" academic writing industry. No one else was welcome in their world. They viewed themselves as writing demigods. They were narcissists because the job made them that way.

This is a job that they believed should be based on a writer's sense of self importance alone. They became the very definition of the word because, in order to fool the students into trusting them, their skills, and services, they needed to project an image of being self-involved, vain, and selfish when arguing with other writers in the hope of demolishing the competition when vying for the same client. They were the classic character definition of narcissists. That was how they competed with writers who were not part of their clique.

I believe that they were all gone from the forum the last time I checked. That does not mean the site is now narcissist free though. Students need to be cautious just the same. They may accidentally hire a new narcissist writer without knowing it. Giving the students more problems than they bargained for.

beware of writers who gaslight students

Jun 4, 2022

The writers power over a student can sometimes turn into a psychological war. The job description allows a writer to develop an all too powerful dictatorial character since the student is seen as the subordinate who needs the services of the writer. Most specially in reference to the financial aspect of the deal. There have even been cases of students complaining that their regular writer would try to gaslight the student when the student begins to assert client rights. The threats begin.

References to, "I know what I am doing and you don't" in relation to writing instructions and revisions begin to enter the discussions. The poor students have no choice in such cases but to do as ordered since the payment has been completed. These gaslighting writers are the worst. They do everything to control the student clients and blackmail them before releasing them from what was supposed to be a per project writing hire.

Students should be careful. Never hire a writer multiple times / successively. Observe the writer for negative attitude changes if involved in a writer retainer set-up or favored writer status via multiple / regular / consistent hiring. Make sure the writer knows you are in chargeat all times. Do not be afraid to fire the writer at the first sign of trouble. Never turn over the leadership power to the writer. Protect yourself first and always.

russia government scholarship

Jun 2, 2022

We are all familiar with international government scholarships. They all claim to be the most difficult to get into, but do not show any reasons why this would be so. I have never had a problem getting an international scholarship before. so it would be a breeze to get the Russia Government Scholarship.

At first I thought that this was another international academic free ride and looked into it since I have studied in several countries on the basis of international scholarships. It is a great way to tour the world for free because someone literally pays you to study and enjoy as a tourist in the country, which is why there scholarships are so popular. Man was I wong about this scholarship!

It is not an open door, easily qualified for program. This scholarship has a unique vetting system that professional students will not appreciate. It is not merely a grades, recommendation, and study interest program. No RGS student will be a mere tourist in Russia. They actually have to study and qualify for the scholarship. This makes the admissions process the most difficult to qualify for.

Has anybody here ever tried to qualify for this scholarship? How did you fare?

re: about writing styles

May 30, 2022

Your first 2 semesters in college will all be about prepping you for the major course requirements. This will include classes in writing where you are introduced to various writing styles and how to apply it to your research papers. There are also writing centers are the colleges and universities where you can go to ask for help with your paper if you feel like you are in over your heard. They are always more than willing to help you learn the ropes when it comes to college writing. Do not let your brother get into your head. He probably never knew that help existed in college for him because he was or is not serious about his studies. You seem to be eager to perform well in college, something that will help you when it comes to accurately completing your writing requirements when the time comes. Now is not the time to worry about that. Work on getting good grades for now so that you can get into your first choice university.

re: are all academic writers narcissists?

May 30, 2022

You must have suffered a massive career burn-out to want to become a part of this field of uncertain income and cut throat competition.

It was more like career boredom. I had been working at the same company for 5 years already and been passed over for a promotion twice. During the lockdown, the company I worked for cut back even on work from home hours. Salaries were cut to unimaginable rates and I was barely keeping afloat with my bills payments and other payables. I got into the academic writing business simply because it popped up when I was looking for remote job opportunities in my area. A local company runs a general writing company that dabbles in everything from commercial jingle writing, social media hash tag promotion, and yes, even academic writing. I applied and found myself hired within the week. I started doing the job because the rates were good and helped augment my regular income. Slowly, it began to take more of my time and paid out higher than expected fees that soon overtook my regular job. I even had writing contracts coming my way at some point. I decided that this was the career for me under the New Normal way of doing things and quit my job without a second thought. I haven't looked back since. Now, let me ask you, does anything I said qualify me as a narcissist?

general writing administration

May 30, 2022

I am on the lookout for a reputable and reliable independent writer. I do not wish to work with writing companies since there always seems to be one problem or another coming up with dealing with them. I am thinking that hiring an independent writer will help limit my exposure to those problems. Quite recently, during my search, I have come come across a different kind of problem though. Several independent writers I have contacted do not want to work on a per project basis. Instead, they want me to pay them a regular retainer fee of $3000.00 a month for their performance as General Writing Administrators. Apparently they are of the impression that they are worth that much because they want to be the dedicated writer for all my writing needs. Regardless of the inapplicability of their background to my major. I was looking to hire around 2 or 3 writers for specific courses, all of whom must have relevant educational backgrounds. Yes, I interview and vet my writers personally. So I was really shocked by the writer administrator thing. Is this something new that I should be worried about? Is it not possible to hire writers on a per project basis anymore? Or at least stick to the same writer per subject? Does he really have to hire to write all of the papers? I am afraid that I might end up with class problems and failing grades if I do this. 5 writers have already approached me with this type of offer so far.

re: about writing styles

May 30, 2022

It all depends upon the kind of curriculum your school is following. If you have not chosen a college path to follow yet at this point and are taking general classes only, then maybe your teacher will not care so much about the paper format and presentation style. Like all teachers though, he may be impressed if you present your papers based on proper research guidelines for AP or college level papers. You do not lose anything by prepping this early for your college course. College is not the time to be learning about how to write. Your focus should already be on learning about your future job requirements. Not something that should have been taught in high school. Listen to your brother and learn about proper writing styles now. You will not regret it. Enroll yourself in after school writing classes. That will look good in your application essays too. It will show a dedication to learning that other students may not have. Knowing how to write and how to writer properly are 2 different things that you should be considering early on, before you get to college.

re: about writing styles

May 30, 2022

Your brother is just trying to scare you. My guess is, you are the more intelligent sibling and he knows it. So he is trying to scare you into believing that you cannot handle college paper requirements. If he were a truly helpful sibling, he would be helping you prepare for the future by allowing you access to his current college papers. Regardless of any difference in study focus you may have with him in the future.

By showing you what you are up against, you will learn how to handle the situation in the future. Ask him to send you copies of his current papers and review them. You will learn a lot from his mistakes, since he will be sending you his graded papers. If he refuses then buy model papers on the internet covering subjects that relate to your potential college major. That would be more than ample preparation for you when it comes to writing styles. It will also place you a curve above your classmates because you will have introduced yourself to several class course topics ahead of them, making you more likely to perform better in class.

re: about writing styles

May 29, 2022

Hey! Fellow student here. I would not worry about learning college writing styles at the moment. I would worry more about knowing how to do proper research and how to identify fake from real information. I am willing to bet that you are already being taught how to research and write in the format of the course you are interested in. What exactly is your focus of study? STEM? Arts ?

You should be receiving relevant research and writing training at this point based on your future college focus. If not, then what you should do is focus on becoming familiar with the writing styles. Ask your brother about it. I am just reading about these writing formats at the moment.

Just to get an understanding of how these are formatted. You don't need to use the writing styles just yet. Not unless your teachers require it already. As of now, our teachers are just happy that we know how to write long papers.

about writing styles

May 28, 2022

I am a high school student whose homework is mostly composed of research and opinion essays. My teachers do not require me to use a specific formatting style when completing my work. I have a brother who is currently in college and he told me that he found it difficult to complete his papers because our school did not familiarize us with the MLA and Haward writing styles.

He suggested that I start learning how to properly use these formats on my own to avoid the difficulties be experienced during his freshman year. Do you think he is right about this? I told him I could just hire a writer when I get to college and he went ballistic on me.

He believes I should learn the formats even if I do not write the papers myself. don't he just being dramatic about these things? I am asking him to place a bet that my teacher do not care about the writing format as long as I submit the work on time. Do you guys think I could be right?

re : networking and client cultivation

May 26, 2022

The forum itself allows the writers to use their server facilities for self-promotion while charging a nominal fee for it. They give the featured writers access to a promotional opportunity they would not have otherwise. Since these people mostly work alone, it stands to reason that they would prefer to personally handle their publicity and promotion in a rented venue. There is nothing wrong with that since they are informed of this upon sign-up. Since the paying writers do not mind it, why should we?

Being an independent writer is not easy, specially when it comes to promotion. By using these services,they receive some guidance in terms of advertising, no matter how basic it may be. Besides, even politicians and celebrities work on self promotion through hired PR. The writer's job is to somehow stay in the limelight while paid channels highlight their existence. That is basically the same principle that the writer promotion platform and service is based on at the forum.

EssayChatMay 24, 2022

Have you ever heard of the phrase "career change"?

I am quite familiar with the phrase. I acknowledge that there maybe writers who fall under this qualification but there are more who enter into this field as their first job, not having other career opportunities present before them even as they claim to be unlicensed professionals in a field of wide admiration. They are not career changers but career losers who never really figured out their direction in life beyond being braggarts and bullies. The academic writing field is the perfect vehicle for narcissists since they get the power rush they need, while being paid to play mental games on the unsuspecting students. These third rate narcissists seem to proliferate in this field.

If you are truly a career change participant in this field then you are one of the few. You must have suffered a massive career burn-out to want to become a part of this field of uncertain income and cut throat competition. The narcissists try to cancel each other out in this field with some of them no longer here because they came across an even bigger narcissist than they were. Even narcissists have their comeuppance.

re: are all academic writers narcissists?

May 20, 2022

People who graduate with actual academic degrees and have a shot at an actual (high) paying job will not go the academic writer way.

Have you ever heard of the phrase "career change"? In case you have not heard of it, let me explain it to you. This is the process that a professional undergoes when he gets tired of working in one specific occupation over a period of time. He decides that he has had enough of this profession and tries a new one, where he can gain a new sense of satisfaction. While not all of the academic writers are here because of a career change, there are some, myself included, who entered into the job because of the need to change my job. It had nothing to do with the fiduciary aspect, but it had everything to do with personal satisfaction and stress free working.

Am I a narcissist because I derive satisfaction from being able to help others improve their career prospects? No. They have all the benefits to gain from hiring a seasoned professional as a writer. My experience, both professional and wordly shows in my writing, which levels up the paper that he receives from me in terms of content and relevance.

Am I a narcissist because I like working stress free? Again, another big NO ! Most people wish they could work on their own terms and hours. Not even the WFH scenario that has been picking up in popularity can compare to the freedom I have working without clocking in from home and being supervised by a higher up, which is what the WFH scenario is about. It should not be confused with the freedom that academic writers experience in our WFH scenario.

If you think these classify us as a narcissist, then you need to reexamine what the occupation we are working in is all about.
