College Student Outsources College
By Ben Pulley

Economics major Marv Stevenson is your average college student. He wakes up 10 minutes before class, microwaves himself leftover pizza for breakfast, throws on an old pair of jeans and goes to his 9'o clock class. Where he sleeps some more.

After a hard day's napping, instead of heading back to his dorm room to do his homework, he e-mails a company in India his assignments. The company, Dofoyu, then does the assignments for him.

"It was the most brilliant idea I had since spamming my friends to sign up to get a free iPod on Facebook. I didn't tell them they need to refer five more friends, but I got me mine," said Marv. "Outsourcing my homework and studying has let me experience what college is supposed to be."

When asked how he outsources studying, Marv grinned and pulled out his collection of DVDs. "I get some guy to read the material, listen to the lectures I record, and make a DVD where he explains the important stuff to me in 6 hours. It's better to watch this movie than the actual lecture because I can be naked while eating pork rinds. And the cost is the best part. All I do is buy them a few bags of rice a week."

A spokesman from Dofoyu was unable to be reached for comment.
