I torrented all the textbooks that I could.
Also, is it ironic that taking accounting requires you to be bad with money?

Just torrent them and sleep with your professor so they will not dock you grades.

>Trumptards will unironically defend this
I guess being too dumb for higher education has some perks. Sure you have no choice but to work with your hands in the freezing cold and burning heat like a common ape, sure you have to compete with Mexican scabs and drug addicts for the opportunity to clean toilets, sure you have a 60 hr/week service job, but hey, at least you didn't have to pay for textbooks!

tradies sure are one step ahead

Don't these books come with special codes required to do exercises online? I don't think they can be returned.

If your course has material digitally linked to the book you're fucked. Luckily I never came across that.
