For a little extra cash, I recently started selling old textbooks on Amazon.com. This isn't my first time, as I sold several books in between undergraduate and graduate school on Amazon.com. For better or worse, I'm now selling graduate school textbooks for cash.
When I took comprehensive exams this Spring, I pondered selling graduate textbooks, but couldn't bring myself to do it. I knew I didn't have any plans to pursue my PhD (at least, at that point in time), but I felt weirdly connected to them. Possibly due to maturation--but more likely due to cynicism, I'm selling them, and hoping for cash.
As I said in my initial post, everybody told me it wouldn't be possible to get a good job with 'only' my Master's in Political Science. I'm not trying to be self-righteous, and my initial search wasn't easy. However, I couldn't be happier with my choice.
So, I'm selling my textbooks from graduate school. Anybody lookin'?
