deive:

I wish there were computers programs that could do all my work for me without my having to spend a minute thinking about problems which keep me from having fun with all my friends and allow me to sleep until I feel like waking up (I would especially like it if they were free and the algorithms were infallible and guaranteed to give only correct answers.). Unfortunately there are no such things – and never will be. However, if you believe there are, then I've got some prime Florida swamp land you might be interest in buying.

In the meantime, there are some alternatives or options:

1. Quit Engineering and take up beer drinking, Political Science, or basket weaving. These careers have little or no homework problems and they’re a lot of fun.
2. Hell, quit school altogether. That way you’ll never have to do any more homework or studying.
3. Win the Lottery and just worry about how you can spend all that money the rest of your idle, useless life.
4. Marry the Professor’s daughter and that way he’ll have to give you a passing grade.
5. Forget all the above options, stay awake in plant design class, take diligent notes and study them, work the homework problems and plan on how you can carry out your assignments. And perhaps even buy a copy of the course textbook and study it.

Of the above options, which do you think will allow you to pass the course, earn an honest living, and have a prospective future in front of you? Better put: which one makes more sense?
