Text Books

For those of you who don't know, I am a college student. I am also not the child of rich, snobby parents, which means I am paying for college out of my own pocket (with a little help from my parents, definitely not a free ride), working hard for every cent. This obviously means I am poor. So why, why oh why, do professors put an $80 text book on the required materials list for a class and then use the book a TOTAL of 1 (ONE!)time! Are they trying to be disliked by every single student who signed up for their class? And to top it off, they choose a book that has a new edition coming out the same time your trying to sell yours off after you realize you don't need it, making it virtually worthless. To all those professors who do this: You don't want to know where I'm going to shove that expensive text book if I can't find some sucker to buy an outdated book...
