Most bookstores make an average profit margin of 22% on books they sell.
Cooper experienced is something that a lot of students experience at the end of each semester the bookstore buyback issue.
#Why are warhammer books so expensive manuals#
“I went to sell my books back to the library, and out of the six books I had, three of them they wouldn’t buy back, one of them I bought for $172, and they offered me $54 for it, and the other two combined, I sold for $52.” He continued, “Out of the three books they wouldn’t buy, two of them were lab manuals for biology courses at Northlake, so if they wouldn’t buy them, I have no option to sell them.” Cooper faced at the end of the semester was selling his books back. I was shocked when I went to the bookstore and found out my books cost more than my classes.” One of the problems Mr. Daniel Cooper, a student at Northlake College in Irving Texas said, “I spent about $800 on classes last semester before books. Students are certainly feeling the pinch from the increased cost of textbooks. This is an astonishing figure considering textbook inflation is roughly the same as tuition inflation during that same period. According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the cost of college textbooks have increased 200% over inflation during the past two decades. One of the main costs associated with obtaining a college education, besides tuition expenses, are books. The cost of education is usually the foremost reason why people either never start college, or begin but later drop out. Based on the assumption that having a college degree puts one at an advantage when interviewing for a job, let’s then explore why so many American’s still lack a college degree in today’s marketplace. Economists refer to this as a screening/signaling device for employers. This signals to the potential employer that the applicant is more likely to be reliable and should make a good employee. What’s more, employers are less concerned with the candidate’s bachelor’s degree concentration as they are with candidates’ exemplary achievements of discipline, intelligence and focus that a degree requires. Many candidates are seeking jobs with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, putting those candidates without one at a great disadvantage. In today’s job market, a college education has become the minimum bar to enter the workforce at an entry level position.
