Student Sues University Because She's Unemployable

digitalhermit writes "A C student (not the programming language) has sued her former school because she has been unable to find a job in the three months since her graduation. Yup, some schools are degree mills, but this just seems... bizarre."

    It's not an "American Pattern of blaming everyone else." It's a pattern of a lot of people in the world. Most of us Americans work hard to get to where we are at and don't expect support from outside services, hence the American Dream.

    These people that sit back and expect everything to be handed to them make me sick. Now we have an administration that is coddling to those types of people, even to the extent of taxing us good strong workers more to cover for these slackers.

    This girl in the article needs to learn that a 2.7 gpa, for one thing, is NOT a "good gpa," it is barely average. I don't even look at candidates if they have grades that poor.

    Well in a recession economy we can use more basic labor. Not everybody gets to be a high powered executive in a glass tower, ya know. Ditches won't dig themselves. Burgers need flipping.

    What happens across all of europe - people would enjoy life more.

    If you have a team of twenty people then you only need one more to cover all the extra time, and if they're anything more than a body in a seat to you and your business then you'll get more out of that 21 than your 20 overworked office-zombies.

    As a small business owner, I bet you vote for the party that does though. That's disgusting. I've had enough of this kind of moral calculus: the kind of treatment works here receive is outright illegal in Western Europe. Society there hasn't collapsed: in fact, they're better off for it. So screw your pro-business rhetoric. There comes a point when being anti-business is also anti-people, but we're nowhere near that point.

    You are Completely wrong.
