RE: More reasons to not go to college: The price of books
Even in the trades, when going to school you have to get books.
I do understand there is a limited audience but they change them every year. (I know that's to cut down on cheating but they could sell the workbooks separately).
I do have to get the new code book every 3 years to stay current and it's about $100.
I haven't yet heard the "cutting down on cheating" excuse given by a professor before but I would imagine someone would say that. If they were really interested in cutting down on cheating the professor could make his or her own questions rather than depending on the ones in the book. It's not like those are test questions and if someone is cheating on their homework in college, they should probably question whether or not they should be in college.
