So, this guy wants to pay me to do his final project for a web design class. Easy money, but highly unethical. My hours at work were cut to basically zero, so I could really use the cash. What would you do?

(Alternatively, if anyone is aware of any open projects that AREN'T unethical, I'm all ears)

In the Philippines, it is quite acceptable to do this kind of job. Some would accept the Capstone/Thesis Project of a student.

@CodinNShakin Tbh, my biggest concern isn't this guy skating through his web design class. It's not like a college degree means anything to real web design firms. If he tried to get a job without knowing simple web development, they'd find out really quick.

My biggest concern is actually that I'll come up with something too obviously well-learned. It's supposed to be a Web Design 1 final project. How do I make a project that seems like it was done by an amateur? How much do you even charge for something like this?

Ive been doing this for the past 3 years, i get like $50 for half an hour of work so why the fuck not

@spritanium do it like it's your first time, hahaha! No Bootstrap, grid, probably use table layout. Haha

BTDT. Dont ever do projects for a student, its a no win situation; students usually pay less than what you expect and would casually bother you for every single shit about that project. And that’s not all, they’ll ask you to document it and be their consultant until the end of semester.

A girl once pay me to do this laravel project, but the teacher gave us a guide, literally gave us all the code just to read. Easy money 😬😬

I see viewing your comments that it ain't the ethical aspect of it that's bothering you, instead the technical aspects of making it look like a low tier job.

Follow this steps:
- ask for 50% in advance (make it 75% of your planned earnings)
- get mildly drunk and do the job
- deliver and ask for the other 50%

You won't feel guilty while doing it, the job will be done according to specs (sluggish) and you'll have some money.
