Simple question:
If someone paid you to do their homework [a price that was well worth your time], would you do it? Why or Why not?

If you have ever let anyone copy your homework you are already guilty of this. I have no moral dilemma with this, the person that is paying you to do their homework is only hurting their self (and strengthening you) however you probably couldn't pay me enough to do your homework. If I were to do someones homework I would also feel like I cheated them if I earned anything less than an A (90+) mark which presents a problem as I may not be able to make that mark in the particular subject.

Speaks fluent binary
I would and I have before. One of my friends actually paid me $15 in high-school to duplicate my homework for him. Hey, if they are too lazy to learn and do it and want to pay me that is fine. :)

Well actually one of my friends told me to do a programming project for him (in mine I got full marks) the only problem I had and the only reason I did not accept was because I had to do my own first. If they are guys that have money to spend then let them spend it!

A spammer's worst nightmare
I wouldn't do it. There's a chance the idiot would become a co-worker down the road, and I'll be stuck picking up the pieces for him for years.

What do you mean? Here we are talking about making a simple HW for someone and get paid..

A spammer's worst nightmare
I'm taking a longer view of things. When someone is doing homework, they are usually going to be doing the HW to learn something, often to get a piece of paper. I figure if they want to learn programming, they probably want a job that will involve programming. I don't want to be responsible for helping produce incompetents in the programming field, even if it does line my wallet.

I'm not talking about making their final project for their diploma/degree/masters or whatever you call it. I'm talking while in college, so if I make their HW they will still have plenty of work to do in future to have their diploma or whatever and find a job.. lol! No way I'm gonna let someone pass and then perhaps he would take my job.. No way!

I realize that. I've just found that with the way knowledge builds, whether in programming, math, and other disciplines, helping people leave holes in their knowledge doesn't benefit them in the long run, even if it's for profit.

That's a very interesting take on things, that's looking waaay down the road. I've been offered money to do people's homework before, never took it, because I just don't feel good doing it.

I have no problems in doing HW, but I never accepted paid ones (neither Free)
