How to Buy College Books for Less and Sell for More
 One of the first things I had to figure out as a beginning freshman was how to save money on buying college textbooks.
The first step is to get the booklist for each class. Sometimes the
booklists can be obtained from a campus advisor or online when you
search by course description or ID number. Other times it is
distributed the first day of class. Make sure you note which edition
you need for each book because there maybe small changes between
editions or major rewrites. If you have questions about editions, I
recommend you ask your professor if an older edition would suffice.
Once you have the booklists for your classes, go to the college bookstore and note the price for each of your required books.

discipline as well, you are most likely considering a number of
different paths. But, how do you know which job is "right" for you?

responsibility for the daily routine of my two youngest siblings. When
I left home for school, not only was my personal routine seriously
disrupted, but also my family's routine at home was seriously
disrupted.
