The leech...

Tonight I went to class for a short while to get the information needed for the term. We were all reminded to go to the bookstore and get the required text book for the course, if we hadn't already done so. After leaving the class I figured I would go to the bookstore to purchase the book for this class (Management Information Systems) and also for my Marketing class. Most books that I have bought in the past were around $60, which I thought was pretty outrageous. Today was definitely a shock...

Management Information Systems - $140.00
Marketing - $90.00


That’s right, I paid over $250 (after taxes) for two text books...is it just me or is that uncalled for? I realize these books contain the information required to realize my full potential and eventually make the 'big bucks'...but please. The scariest part about the whole thing is that I potentially have 3 more text books to buy for this term.

That’s my rant for the day…thanks for listening.
