There have actually been cases where students hire up to 2 academic writers, on a retainer basis, for the duration of the semester. This is normally done by working students who only have enough energy left to actually attend classes, either online or in person, but do not have any more time to spare to handle classwork and coursework. What these students do is, they hire a specific writer to focus on his major subjects, wherein the best grades are required to progress to the next level then, they hire a different writer to handle the common classes and subjects where they need to pass the non-essential courses. This keeps their costs down and allows them to have enough of a balance between work, school, and their private lives. They feel less overwhelmed when they do it that way.
