I want to mention this is an accredited state college. I also could ask /biz/ but I already know what the answer would be.

Define "OK". Whether or not it's ethically permissible depends on your ethics. If you're in business, you should mainly care about what is legal though.

A couple terms ago I had an ethics in business course that only talked about legality, so I get what you're saying.

OK in the sense that it's legal. No comment on it being morally ethical.

Are you cacting with in the letter of the law?
Better be a yes.


Are you playing advantages, to get a better position? ( nothing wrong with that)
Now.... I will say this. If word gets around that you are an unethical fuck. People will be hesitant to do business with you.

The supper shady shit should not be your goto card.

Do it but discreetly. Don't make a big splash, get by in the shadows.

As an Accounting major with a semester left...

It is incredibly easy to take advantage of a situation, cook the books, and engage in all sorts of shenanigans for short-term gains.

That said, it isn't worth the long-term damage to your reputation, and everyone is eventually caught.

This, in regards to a somewhat gray area.

You're literally getting a degree in how to get the most out of people while giving them as little as you possibly can. I would call that cheating and stealing. I don't think it's okay.

But I also get that you tacitly participate in the expropriation of labor or die, so I guess I can't complain about you less-than-tacitly types if I'm going to participate.

Welcome to the scumbag world of business. This is the future you went into student debt to join.

That's what business is, exploiting others for your own benefit.

That's subhuman behaviour, OP.
