I'm getting a PhD

I have an ad on "kijiji" (sp?) inviting university students to send me their papers for editing or re-writing.  I have had a few interesting jobs, but am now "earning" my PhD in Economics.  Lots of fun!  I am completely re-writing a thesis by a brilliant fellow who, unfortunately, can barely speak, and cannot write, English.  So, hey, that's what I'm here for.  I am learning a lot, thanks to his 90-page paper about how the internet has changed hiring practices and what effect this has had on the economy.   It will take me hours to re-do this mess, but I do get his ideas.  He is a brilliant fellow. 

I figure I should get paid for my expertise in English grammar; a lost art.
