| Aug 20, 2019 at 19:50 | comment | added | user111955 | @J...: i dom't know who Lori Loughlin is. I would be really happy if bad people would always suffer consequences -- in this case, I think it would be impossible (I would be l happy if you disprove this!). In my eyes, the argument not to do this kind of bribary is not "it destroys your career" (in my eyes this is a lie) but "it's morally bad". Do you disagree? | |
| Aug 20, 2019 at 19:40 | comment | added | user111955 | @J...: I'm trying to argue that people who commit bribe like the OP discribes indeed have their tracks covered -- there is(in my eyes) no realisctic way how they can get caught. Hence it can not destroy their career. It is bad nontheless (because it is not the right thing to do), but I can't see how it can destroy a career. If you would report a student for bribary because they helped watching an exam, I'm sure nobody takes you seriously. As I understand, you seem to argue that OP's proposed actions can indeed destroy a career. I would be happy to see an explanation how. | |
| Aug 20, 2019 at 18:19 | comment | added | user111955 | @J...: i do agree that it is bribe and morally bad. This should be the reason to avoid it. I do not agree that a behavior like this can realistically get ones career taken to the woodsheet. One reason for this is that I cannot think of any reasonable way how this could come into light -- especially since there is no physical proof. thus I don't understand and ask how this could hurt a career. | |
| Aug 20, 2019 at 14:29 | comment | added | user111955 | @J...: i must also say that I would really be surprised if somebody's career was destroyed because of doing what OP suggests (especially, since it seems to be one professor and master's admission), no money or physical goods are involved. Do you have any examples for your claim? Or can you tell me how and to whom one would report such behavior such that it would destroy the OP's career? I agree on not doing this, however (but for other reasons). | |
| Aug 20, 2019 at 14:06 | comment | added | user111955 | @J...: one would hope it does, in my experience, however, this is not true. | |

LOR abbreviation is not appropriate for a title

Mine says that you have to give me a copy of your resume, (in whatever shape it's in) and supply me with stamped envelopes and/or directions for submitting electronically. You might check and see if your prof has a published policy. | |
