I teach at three community college as an Adjunct Professor; but I don't select the textbooks for my courses.
In my specialty, some text books and homework sets can approach $300 to $500 per course.
My students typically pay tuition costs between $350 to $500 per 3 credit course.
Open Source (opensource.org) and other websites offer free textbooks written by professors
at prominent universities and colleges such as Rice University.
In my opinion, government grants should be provided in order to fund the production of
at least three textbooks in each course offered at most colleges (Accounting 1, Biology 1 , Calculus 1, Chemistry 1 ,
Economics 1, English Compostion 1, Government 1, History 1, Political Science 1, Physics 1, Psychology 1, Sociology 1, etc.)
In my opinion, students need to be aware of future job prospects in their majors. A Psychology degree at the Ph.D. level is much more valuable than a Psychology degree at the Bachelor's level. A B.A. degree in Education may provide more financial security in New York State than a similar degree in Florida where many teachers ar underpaid.
