The spoiled brats of Lebanon buying their assignments

Students can pay anything between $10 and $30 per page for papers in humanities, and around $300 to $400 for small graphic design projects. Senior-year projects and theses are the most expensive, costing up to $1,500 for a dissertation.  Nadia, an English Literature graduate student, who also refused to give her last name, works for a similar organization. Nadia makes around $2,000 a month and has more than 200 undergraduate and graduate colleagues from different backgrounds, catering to students from all majors."   (thanks Jad)

PS Of course, there is such a phenomenon in the US.  I knew a Lebanese student in Berkeley who made his living from taking exams on behalf of wealthy Saudi students.  Sometimes he would grow a beard or a mustache in order to look like the person in the school ID.
