    Looks like we're dealing with it by putting people with money in handcuffs.

    This is exactly what I thought of reading about this. Well that, and Full House.

    I'd do her homework for her. That dorm room looks much better than I ever had.

    What's the logic in paying someone to take your admissions test? If you couldn't get in with your own merits, how do you expect to make it through the program? And say you bribe someone to do all your assignments, what's that diploma going to get you when you're dumb as rocks? Beauty bloggers and influencers don't need diplomas.

    If you just want the college experience, it's easy to pretend to be a student.

    Kids involved should be expelled. They had to have known what was up. How could they not know?

    I think you might overrate the difficulty of a lot of college programs, even at elite schools.

    For a lot of degrees the most difficult part is being admitted. Just my opinion. But the grade inflation at places like Stanford is ridiculous.

    Yeah, you're right. There are a lot of useless degrees out there. I still question what that paper diploma will do.

    Aunt Becky's girl is dumb as rocks and she just wants to attend college parties and tailgates.

    If dumb rich kids really want the experience, maybe I need to start a business to hook them up. Find a dorm kid willing to live off campus in nicer apartments, replace with dumb rich kid. The dumb rich kid could skip out on classes they'd never attend anyway and go to all the college parties they'd want. I'd even learn photoshop to make fake diplomas.

    and I think he overrate the difficulty of most jobs these degrees can get you

    Most people I know have worked for someone that wasn't very right
    Getting a job and holding it are two different things
    else when you have bright people working under you

    People keep on yelling about the 1-and-done college hoops stars subverting the "student athlete" experience. Turns out it's the bench-warming scrubs on the water polo team that are the real cheaters.

    First off, college is a big slimeball industrial complex that preys on the 'American Dream' mindset to sell most people watered-down education that they don't really need. Unless you're in a STEM or Medical degree program, you don't need college, or at least, you don't need it at anything other than a bottom of the basement cheap ass college degree. And that's non-profit schools. For-profit schools are the scum of the earth.

    Second, if you have to cheat on an entrance exam to get into USC, you really are an idiot and have no business getting a degree even at McDonalds U.
