Everyone deserves a chance to pursue a career that he believes he can excel in. He had every right to pursue this career if he chose to do so, regardless of what others may think about his writing skills, what questions they may have about his educational level, or even what country he actually comes from. None of these matter when a person wishes to pursue a career. Let's forget about the writing industry for a moment and look at how real world employment works in relation to foreign nationals. Having foreign workers in various professions worldwide is nothing new. They also had to start at the bottom and work their way up. They got paid commensurate to their skillset. They were hired based on the need of the company for people of his skills. He was imported to the new country to meet that need. An academic writer is similar to those foreign workers. They have to prove themselves worthy of the job that they are doing, which allows them to charge the rights they deserve to be paid. He can be considered a foreign worker who works for an international company if he opts to work for an academic company at the start of his career. Then, just like other foreign workers, he can move on to other career opportunities as his skills develop. Does he need to be transpared and tell the student he is not a native English speaker? Transparency is best. The student should interview him and make sure he is fit for the task before hiring him anyway.
