My wager is that I'll see this book up on auction at GA within the week. 😉

ParticipantActually, Skiguy, I would prefer you put it up for auction if nobody else wants it. We need all the auctions we can get.

Okay. If it's something I can use, I'll keep it, if not, I'll put it up for auction at GAA and if it sells, it will go into the GAA kitty.

ModeratorAren't you working with kids? Why not give it to one of them?

Well most of the kids I deal with are just trying to get their GED and learn a trade like welding, masonry, CNA, Phlebotomy, Medical Records, Pharmacy Tech, carpentry, facility maintainence, culinary arts, etc.....most won't go on to college.

KeymasterSki why do you get free books from your school? That's actually pretty good as they can cost you an extra $100 or more per semester depending on the class you're taking. Some items are available for reading online which makes things cheaper but I find that having a physical book in hand is much easier to read. I don't like sitting at a computer screen reading too much material all the time.

ModeratorIt's some grant they have. It's only for BA students…Master's people have to pay. I like the setup. The recent books I just received would have cost $200.

ParticipantBelieve it or not….and I know you will raise an eyebrow, I was thinking of looking into the Master's program there if they will let me transfer my current credits.

ModeratorWhat are you lookng into? Does the credit transfer work the same for Master's as it does BA's? It's $825/credit hour for Grad courses I think, how is that price compared to other schools?

KeymasterThat's in the ballpark for grad schools. Maybe a bit high but in the ballpark.
