It's so easy to say... no?

Say you have the option to earn at least 10, with some effort 100 and if you are really good and what you made is chosen up to 600 Euros. What would you do?
In an ideal world put some effort in it and get at least 100 Euros and dance around happily. Save it up for a possible semester abroad which you are actually thinking about. And dance around a bit more.
But nope we do not live in an ideal world and as it is most of the time it is not a question of having money that would make your life so much easier, it's a question of moral integrity.
It would be very easy to walk away not even considering it a opportunity at all because it just isn't, but then again it is a assignment for a course I'm currently taking at university.
So instead of just saying no you have to at least think about the options.

And so here I present you the options and their lovely consequences:

a) Do nothing. Ignore assignment. Live with maybe not getting an A. Also: Maybe I did enough already and it is an A anyway.

b) Explain why I refuse to participate in said assignment. (Which as you may have figured out already is a challenge.) Offer to do something else. I see that totally working plus giving the professor necessary information to maybe change his own mind.

c) Do as told. And do it badly. No one will want my work anyway.

d) Do as told and cry at night and complain how very unfair everything is but it is just the way it is. (Totally Austrian thing to do. *wink* at my "employer" at the Austrian Tourist Office)

e) Make the assignment in a way that it is critique. Downside: I have yet to find out if they could just use the concept and thereby ridicule my effort to tell them off.

f) Organize a protest instead of making the assignment.

And now to add some additional sugar (which we know is addictive and very very bad for you:

The whole point of the assignment is to motivate girls for science. They can even win a internship and science training or stuff like that. And now you do ask where they will have their internship.

Oh yes you clever claus you totally got it.

Motivate for something good to do something bad or at least be indoctrinated by someone who you don't want to work with in the first place.
So yes, it is so easy to say no.
It was never easy to make money, was it? I prefer hours of cleaning because believe me it gets less dirt on my hands.
