I can't imagine being in a position where I need WP- obviously I couldn't claim where I went to school anymore, would I also need to absolve my claims to my skillset?
Would I have to give up working in my industry, my assorted message board accounts?
- rohansingh 11y ago> The program also works with doctors and school administrators to transfer medical records and report cards; Shur recounts that he refused several requests to improve a child’s grades.
- trentmb 11y agoSorry, I failed to retain that passage when reading. Does this apply to college/university?
- ghaff 11y agoYes, pretty much. You have a new identity.
- roel_v 11y agoWell it seems to me that for a sizable portion of the WP target audience, hiding their prestigious academic pedigree isn't the most pressing issue on their minds. Likewise, in my wholly amateur opinion on the matter, the whole point of WP seems to be that they have to give up their claims to their skill sets - even if they are considered within their professional circles to be world-class, say, body-disposal experts; or have critically acclaimed skills in devising methods to transfer illegal narcotics across international borders.
- trentmb 11y agoCartels and other criminal organizations aren't in the stone age- they regularly and routinely abduct, if not blackmail, professionals that suit their purposes. I get it- you're trying to paint a privileged vs un-privileged picture despite my admission I'm lucky enough to have received an education.
- roel_v 11y agoWell, no, that's not what I meant - I was merely jesting about my hunch that the majority of people in WP are 'high level' criminals rather than the tech guy or accountant. Of course there are a few like that, and yes, they'd probably have to find another job - or at least re-establish credentials in the field from 0.
- spitfire 11y agoI would think the accountant would be exactly the sort of person who would be in witness protection. I know the Mexican cartels are now abducting microwave transmission and cell network technicians to run their comms networks. No doubt it'll be microsat experts next (less trudging around).
- TeMPOraL 11y agoI wonder when the cartels will start running rocket companies. Or startup accelerators.
- rodgerd 11y agoThey already run submarines.
- netheril96 11y agoI guess they already have. Or, at least their money has been put into these business, if they don't directly manage them.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoInteresting. Do you have any links about that? I would really like to know if cartels are really investing in space technology, and what companies in particular. Or did you mean that the money made on war on drugs is put to that use?
