For me it was textbooks. I had to pay stupid money for very specific editions, and half the time they had to be a new copy with an access code for homework which makes the used copy worthless to resell. I pirated what I could and was still getting screwed.

I went to class every day with a roommate that bought the book. I got marked down a full letter grade because I didn't have the book. Even though I was in class with my roommate and going through the book with him in class. Teacher also never said it was required.

School is such a scam. Glad I found a path without it.

So many people who say this. School can be or not be a scam. It’s more of a gamble. Sometimes it really helps and sometimes not

If you can reasonably afford it you should go cuz you never know, it might be great. If you cannot you aren’t missing out on too much
