People, I am trying to graduate...

It is so frustrating to try to do in-depth research on an industry when all the good sources have to be bought first. UNT has subscriptions to most business research firms, and so I have access to all the articles I want, but they don't have any market research subscriptions (because they are too expensive. One report I saw was 600 euro..!) It makes projects very difficult to finish because you don't have adequate resources. How the heck am I supposed to find out about industry trends and forecasts if everyone has such a tight grip on their data?  Base case analysis (which is essential for any business plan) is nearly impossible for students, yet they expect you to do it. 

I hope the real business world isn't like that. *sigh*
