Good ole American thinking. I can't do something, so it must be someone else's fault. Therefore, I'll sue them.

Her attitude isn't surprising for an "IT" major.

The other week while working a guy on a bicycle stopped and asked me for directions. The guy is in his 40s and you can tell he's mentally retarded/handicapped/special/whatever. Clothes obviously picked out by his mother and infact his mom called him and he spoke to his mom like a 12-14 year old kid would. Good guy though.

Anyways I saw a map of where he was coming from and I was amazed at his commitment. He rode his bicycle literally 12.7 miles to go work at a 5guys burger and fries. The road he takes is also busy with cars running 70mph and is very hilly. If that fucker can find a job AND make it there on time then anyone can find a job. It may not be the dream 6digit job you told everyone you were going to get but you can get a job.

I just doubt that POS girl has looked that hard for a job or is willing to do something else until she gets the job she wants.

Now if she does sue and win, and then she gets a job in the field she wants, can the college sue her for the money back?

Wah, the college isn't helping her find a job. Sorry princess, your $70k piece of paper doesn't guarantee you shit. Booooo fucking hooooo. You've left school and get to learn a new lesson. Enjoy your useless degree and student loan.

Dragonpaco · 08-04-2009, 01:58 AM

it is kinda bullshit that she dumped all that cash into a degree that can't get her a job. although if she's holding out for a CIO position the she should go fuck herself. smittie, if you hadn't royaly fucked up your life and ended up going to college and got out and had to work at a burger place, wouldn't you be pissed off too?

They can give you job leads but they can't do the interview for you, and secure the job. When I graduated, back in the late '80s, I ended up taking a job for $12,500 a year. It was that, or starve. You have to survive and you have to start somewhere. Whining gets you nowhere.

Nice!

If that shit wins, look the fuck out... there will be a million more similar lawsuits filed the next day.
