Jobless IT graduate sues her college

Being English I sometimes really feel for Americans having for to put up with people like this -->Clickety :wtf: I mean seriously, who is going to employ her now?
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.(Winston Churchill)
It seems that people now accept no responsibility for anything at all. Twice, I was unemployed (due to recession), and I didn't see it as anybody's direct fault.

That sounds difficult - glad things have worked out ok. I am glad to be in a job and a pay freeze means very little at the moment against job security :)

Does she need employment if she wins the case ;)

I don't have a link handy, but I saw her job wishlist. It included ludicrus things for an entry level position like lots of international travel and a corner office. There are only 2 ways you can get that right out of college: 1) Daddy is the CEO 2) Being hired for your skill in giving the boss <

Are you sure it wasn't Monroe Colleges fault? You should look into that ;)

Hey, I think she deserves every penny of.... of..... *cracks up*.... Sorry, can't even type that with a straight face. I just want to assure everyone that the rest of us New Yorkers are not nearly that stupid. Not all of us, at least.

I read this earlier myself and said to myself, "WTF?" What college GUARANTEES any kind of a job? Let's face it, she hasn't found her perfect dream job. It says nothing if she has looked for something similar or even a lower wage paying job for the meantime.

Agreed. I saw she sued for 70K USD only. she would have added 150K for causing mental trauma and 150K more for loss of valuable time. ;P

Thanks - this was 20 years ago. Now that's a frightening thought.

Poor girl didnt learn that colleges guarantee learning, not jobs.

Although suing the college is a complete nonsense, I do feel for a lot of the young'uns now entering the workplace. Saddled with debt, very few opportunities for a low paid job, let alone a decent paying one, jobs getting off-shored left-right and centre, house prices bordering on waaaaaay past the ridiculous for the most crummy of one-bed digs... not a happy place to be. Still, there are opportunities out there and it'll just take a lot more gumption and perseverance to hunt them down. And give it five years and I expect things will have improved no end.

Well, it should. If a college doesn't guarantee learning, better not to join it :) .

Apart from the obvious stupidity of claiming that a university is responsible for employment:
BBC news wrote:
she obtained a bachelor's degree
It doesn't say anything about a masters degree, and trying to hit the market without either a masters degree or a Lot of experience is just a foolish waste of time. Maybe she has it anyway, it doesn't say, but it certainly sounds like she doesn't have one. No company I know of would take the risk of hiring a regular fresh ex-student who didn't even bother to get a masters degree.

Yea ok. But that's a dead end in the paths of Life - you can't get experience because you don't already have it. If that were really the case then surely there would be reports of groups of fresh ex-students committing mass suicide. I have heard no such reports, so there's gotta be some sort of sideways workaround that somehow escapes the dead end.
