While searching online for "Kane and Abel" to learn its story (should I be ashamed about not already knowing?), I came across this website: varsityessays.com. Built to make money off slacking or overworked college students, this website offers a plethora of papers crossing a variety of course topics.

Back in university/college, do you think you would have ever taken advantage of such a resource? Truthfully.

Truthfully? Probably not. For 2 reasons:
1) They aren't likely to have useful Engineering "essays". While I did take a Criminology 101, that was probably the only non-science-related course I took in my 5 years. But in all fairness, under their "Technology" section, there are a few papers that are probably interesting reads.
2) I would have been too cheap to pay for it.
