BellaOnline Forums Career Unemployment Girl suing college for not being able to get a job

Have you read about this? How insane is this girl, suing her college for $70,000 because she can't find a job? If you haven't read the article, here is a link: www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local-beat/College-Grad-Cant-Find-Job-Wants--Back-52304162.html As someone who has been unemployed for 2 months and is actively seeking a new job. I'm shocked that this girl expects things in life to be handed to her. It's an incredibly sad day when people start lawsuits like this one! my unemployment blog: www.activeleisure.wordpress.com

Many people can't find a job these days and unfortunately we are living in a time where race-backed issues cry pooring into the court rooms, regardless of how rediculous the complaint. So, you have monkey see, monkey do. It's a temporary fix if that and she most likely will lose. She'd have to have a contract stating they are indebted to her to find her a job. Sounds like a complainer to me. I wouldn't hire her based on that alone.

Eventually, the lazys will be weeded out and only the people who understand hard quality work will survive. Days of free-money or anything else are slowly coming to an end! We will begin noticing this by early next year.

Interestingly enough a friend of mine was applying to one of those little known colleges. I apologize that I can't remember the name. But one of the promises that the academic advisor made was that they would also get her a job based on whatever it was she was going to study in school. I thought that was a very interesting promise to make considering the current economic crisis.
I think that the economy is having a definite effect on colleges because of the inability for people to afford to be able to go. The smaller colleges are probably feeling the pinch even more.
So while yes, I agree that people want to sue over just about anything, regardless of race, I think that it probably will get out of hand as people try to find a way to make a buck and/or survive.

I remember that moron. Do anyone remember if she ended up winning or not? The worst in cases like that is that many people agree with them and also sometimes judges go their way too!

This story is nearly nine years old, but I suspect the problem is still current.

College degree doesn't equal employment. BUT if it's a selling point that the degree and the college's assistance to get employment are part of what you're paying for, it becomes more iffy, doesn't it? Alas, the idea of the advice and assistance is somewhat nebulous here, so I wonder how it worked out. How successful are their graduates in getting suitable employment? In other words, does their assistance seem, in general, to make a measurable difference in a graduate's chances - or is it just away of getting money out of them?
