Recent Grad Sues College for Tuition
This is priceless.
Trina Thompson, a recent graduate of Monroe College in the Bronx, is suing the school for the $70,000 she paid in tuition because she hasn't found a job yet (she graduated in April) and "the school hasn't done enough to help." Absolutely classic:

On top of her unemployment woes, Trina now faces mounting debt from student loans.
"This is not the way we want to live our life," her mom told the paper. "This is not what we planned."
Oh, really Mom? Because the rest of us have been planning for this life-altering recession for years. You didn't get the memo?
Good luck with this, honey.







Another priceless quote
This one from the NY Post article:
http://www.nypost.com/seven/08022009/news/regional...
"They have not tried hard enough to help me," the frustrated Bronx resident wrote about the school in her lawsuit.
"She's angry," said Thompson's mother, Carol. "She's very angry at her situation. She put all her faith in them, and so did I. They're not making an effort.

Isn't Monroe College the one with all the ads on the subway? Pretty sure she has a case, iirc I think all of their ads insinuate that you'll get a job by going there.

If she was serious about
If she was serious about getting a job, she wouldn't be publically suing her college. Who the hell is going to hire the girl now? I hope she gets that 70k back because no responsible business is going to bring her on.

A totally frivolous lawsuit,
A totally frivolous lawsuit, but it is surprising that colleges, especially the ones that DON"T advertise on the subway, don't do a much better job of preparing people to get jobs. They don't need to turn into vocational schools, but most career services offices are under-resourced for the job they need to be doing. They may have nice, well-intentioned people there, but they don't have the background or skill-set to give people the specific advice they really need to be competitive for the jobs they want. That's why there's a need for a WSO, Gotta Mentor and others.

Ironic
You know, the very fact that she's stupid enough to do this further substantiates how useless that 'college' is; which sort of makes her not stupid. Uh-oh....circular reference!
