Someone might argue that part of schoolwork is proving that you can do boring routine work. In this respect you only have the long-term incentive of graduating and there is no immediate reward.

So far I have never found an instance in life where doing boring routine work was at all something I wanted to do. The boring routine work I do have to do I constantly try and figure out ways around.
Apparently even when those ways around it require you to lie and steal the work of others. What won't you do to avoid boring routine work?

And isn't this the very definition of laziness? Being willing to cross ethical boundaries to avoid unpleasant work?

When did I say I wasn't lazy?

I see the sort of laziness that strives to avoid tedium and boredom as a virtue.
