When college student Adam Richman found himself and his peers overwhelmed with work, he turned to entrepreneurship for help. Richman helped create a site, cheaphomework.com, that provides a staff to complete a student’s homework in exchange for money. Syracuse University ranked as one of the top three users, Richman said. “We just heard a lot of people complain that they didn’t want to do their homework anymore, that they’d prefer to go out, enjoy their night,” Richman said. “We always saw on people’s Facebook statuses, ‘Hey, I’d pay someone $20 to do my math homework,’ ‘I’d really like to go out tonight, does anyone know someone who could write me an essay?’ And we thought we should probably capitalize on this.”
