Site Overview
The first time you visit the Unemployed Professors website, you can tell that it’s different from most other writing services you have worked with before. Instead of pictures of hard-working college students in front of books or computers, UnemployedProfessors has a whole comic strip about the ways the service can be useful to you. The comic strip is undoubtedly fun, but it doesn’t put you into a study mood.
Overall, we found the Unemployed Professors website to be rather difficult to navigate. Every important part of the site, including registration, FAQ, list of services, and contact page are placed in different sections of the page, so you may take a while to find what you are actually looking for. Plus, the site uses bright fonts and unprofessional graphics, which is not something we expect to see on a reputable essay writing website.
My Experience
As always, we strive to keep our Unemployed Professors review impartial by placing a test order on the site and evaluating the quality of writing and service with our own eyes. The first thing we had to do was sign up for the site, which is not an easy thing to do: there are numerous fields you need to fill out and there is no opportunity to sign up with your social media accounts, which means you need to do everything by hand.
The order placement page is even more complicated. While we did like the opportunity to include some details about your order, some of the fields felt really unnecessary. However, we had one big problem with placing an order on UnemployedProfessors. At no point of the process, there is an even approximate price estimate you can count on.
The price will be decided at the bidding stage, so you have no way of knowing whether your two-page college essay will cost $20 or $50. When you cannot know even the approximate Unemployed Professors cost of writing, the whole thing may turn out to simply waste your time.
Writers and Paper Quality
The order we received from Unemployed Professors, which was a fairly easy 2-page high school essay with a 3-day deadline, was not outrageously bad, but it also failed to impress us with the writing quality. We did not request any special additional services for our paper since we expected the writer to be able to complete a high school essay on a decent level. Instead, we received a paper that needed heavy editing if we planned to submit it to a real professor, especially in the vocabulary department.
On the UnemployedProfessors, there is a special section that is dedicated to the competitors, where the authors of the site, rather inappropriately, insinuate that other writing services employ writers from India who have a poor command of English and not enough knowledge in school subjects. Not only did we find this content offensive, but we also did not find the quality of writing on Unemployed Professors to be very different from what the supposed Indian essay writers produce.
Customer Support
At one point in our experience with Unemployed Professors, we felt the need to contact customer support to make a small change in our order. Imagine our surprise when we discovered that the only way to get help on UnemployedProfessors is to use a contact form, where you cannot usually expect a quick response. If you want to be able to contact the site’s customer support at any time of the day, you will need to pay an additional $12 for a VIP service when placing an order, which is a complete rip-off in our opinion.
The Unemployed Professors writing service is also present on several social media sites, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. However, their accounts don’t seem to be active at all and have very little followers, so we don’t think you should expect a quick response from those accounts either.
Prices and Payment Methods
Like many other writing services these days, Unemployed Professors uses a bidding system for its orders. It may have a few advantages — originally, the bidding system was designed to help customers choose the price that fits their budget instead of agreeing to the price set by the service. However, since there is no minimum or maximum Unemployed Professors cost, you can end up paying $15 or $30 per page for your order, depending on the rates of the writers who bid on your paper.
UnemployedProfessors offers a limited variety of payment methods: you can pay for your order using a Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card, or use your PayPal account. The availability of PayPal is a nice feature that gives you some reassurance that your payment is secure. However, the money you pay for the essay will be immediately deducted from your account after placing the order and it will be nearly impossible to get them back.
Revision and Refund
The revision and refund policies of Unemployed Professors are extremely complicated, but after taking a very detailed look at them, we can assure you they don’t have your best interests in mind. For starters, a refund is only guaranteed in a few cases, such as when the author is very late with your order and you can no longer submit it because you have missed the deadline. In all other situations, you can only expect a partial refund and a whopping 38% processing fee will be deducted from the overall cost of the paper.
The situation with revisions is equally suspicious. You can request a revision within a limited time from the completion of the order, but only if your requirements fall in line with the original instructions. Moreover, Unemployed Professors does not make any guarantees to its customers and every revision or refund case will be reviewed by a dispute team who can easily rule in favor of its writer.

Summary
Unemployed Professors is a writing service that tries very hard to stand out but does it for all the wrong reasons. We expected a much higher quality of writing considering the way UnemployedProfessors promotes itself and the higher than average prices it offers. However, our expectations were not met in the slightest and we would never recommend Unemployed Professors to our readers.
FAQ
What is Unemployed Professors?
Unemployed Professors is a paper writing service that is supposedly run by a former college professor who got fed up with the corruption in education and decided to help students obtain better grades. However, we have a hard time believing this story.
Is Unemployed Professors legit?
The answer to the question “Is UnemployedProfessors legit?” largely depends on what you consider to be a legit writing service. Unemployed Professors does deliver most of the orders to the student, but the story behind the company seems fake and the quality of writing leaves a lot to be desired.
How much does Unemployed Professors cost?
On average, a one-page paper for college level will cost you around $25 on Unemployed Professors, provided that you don’t opt for VIP service or don’t request the services of the top tier of writers, which can significantly increase the cost of your order.
Is Unemployed Professors scam?
We would not call Unemployed Professors an outright scam because in most cases, you will actually get a paper from the service. However, with the occasional missed deadline, questionable quality of writing, and poor customer support, we also cannot call it 100% reliable.
Is Unemployed Professors safe?
We did like the fact that Unemployed Professors asks for as little of your information as possible and you can even provide a fake name and then change it in the paper to your real one. The payments on the site are also processed through third-party services, which, in theory, should help you maintain your privacy.
Is Unemployed Professors plagiarism-free?
There is a note on the UnemployedProfessors website claiming that every paper is written completely from scratch and is run through plagiarism-detecting software to ensure that no plagiarised fragments make it into the final draft of your essay.
Are there Unemployed Professors discounts?
While browsing Unemployed Professors, we did not see a single mention of any discounts or bonuses. Even as first-time customers, we did not receive any special offers from the service. However, there is a promo code field on the order placement page, which means that Unemployed Professors discounts should exist in theory, but they are obviously not widely available.
