5. There is an ethical way to help people out for money

You can't charge as much, obviously, but I used to prepare outlines of papers and collect a set of references )annotated by me) for my clients to read. At $30 each, not particularly lucrative, even in the 60s. i think most people can write coherently once they get started, but for a majority it seems that starting is the sticking point. More than one client took off in a different direction from my outline based on a reference they found interesting. And no problem with a bunch of papers sounding alike turning up all over a small campus. There's a difference between being a chauffer and giving someone some spark plugs.
