Should I buy my dissertation?

Hi monkeys!

Final year economics student here, and I need advice. I have to write a dissertation this year to complete my degree, on which I have to get at least 65% to graduate with a first - already have a first class average from previous years.

I have an IBDSA position lined up and applying for B-school next year - both of which require me to graduate with at least a 2:1 (60%), but to be a worthy candidate, I ideally need a first.

The thing is essays really aren't my strong suit, and the reason I've been able to achieve high grades is because I preform really well in statistics/econometrics/corporate finance classes. Seeing as I have these future opportunities lined up, at this point what matters most to me is the grade I graduate with, rather than what I learn. Additionally, the depth of economic research and theory required for the dissertation is not necessarily something which will be required for a career in investment banking, so not missing out on anything there.

That is why I am considering paying to get my dissertation written. This would ease my workload in terms of all my other classes, but also allow me to focus on the things I really enjoy doing and free up my time - something I can take advantage of seeing as I won't have this sort of free time once I start working in IB.

What do you guys think about this? Is it worth it? Do I risk getting found out if I do this and has anyone ever done this before successfully? Are there also any good sites online in the UK which anyone can recommend, or someone which can provide this service?

I really appreciate any advice!
