...and then use it themselves, right?

If you mean to suggest that they should then give it to you, well: don't.
That's illegal, and it gives a bad name to those who buy the education
versions for legitimate uses.

If you use Photoshop, and all (read: many) of its features, for your work, I
think it more than pays for itself over time, expensive as it is. If you
don't think you'll use that many of its features, or don't use it
professionally, then there are plenty of other options, which can be bought
legally, among them Photoshop Elements, which does most of what Photoshop
does, and costs just a fraction of the full version's price. And, of course,
there's always Graphic Converter, too, as has been mentioned here.

Best,
David
