William Rick Singer started a business 25 years ago with a vision of helping students navigate the higher education maze. Along the way, Singer realized that there were wealthy people willing to pay significant amounts to get their average children into premier schools.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Singer’s business began devising schemes to hire test takers to sit for the ACT and SAT exams for these wealthy children. He also bribed college faculty to lie about the ethnicity of his clients.

Singer’s greed and shortcuts have ruined lives. It will now likely cost him years in prison.

Proverbs 15:27 teaches, “The greedy bring ruin to their households, but the one who hates bribes will live.”

Don’t let greed derail your noble vocation and ruin lives, including yours.
