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."
This is funny because just the other day I was talking with my mother, a director of hiring at a large telco, and she was talking about how the young people she brings in feel entitled.
I told her I agreed, then asked if I could borrow $25. When she said no I wrote the local paper exposing the BULLSHIT THAT THIS IS!
pretty much all collages help graduates find jobs
Are you serious? Shit! I knew I should have listened to my mom when she told me to save all of my artwork from elementary school.
why doesn't she use her business degree and start her own business. Find a niche and go with it. It will be more rewarding.
I think she's actually trying to do that. But I'm not sure how profitable a business around suing your past educators will be.
Notice that this story is in the Entertainment section? You're supposed to point and laugh.
Maybe next time they'll think before running a subject called "How to sue people for profit"
For not teaching her about how stupid it is to file frivolous lawsuits.
If she's so motivated to sue someone because "she doesn't get what she wants," why doesn't she use her business degree and start her own business. Find a niche and go with it. It will be more rewarding. The downside, based upon her attitude, is that the only person she could blame then is herself. Unless she sues the customers of the world for not buying her product/service.
Maybe she should apply for a job at the RIAA.

I believe SCO have already patented that idea.
....it is probably not her own fault that she grew up with such a sense of entitlement.
Her family/school are likely very much to blame though, for not teaching her how the world works.
She should sue them.
You can't teach intelligence and age dont cure stupid.
There's a fairly widespread belief that people with a higher education are probably smarter than people without one - this girl very much disproves that. When I was in law school, it was full of less than brilliant minds to be sure, some I wouldn't even have trusted to cook me a burger at the local Mmmshack.
"Let's hope she gets laughed out of court."
Maybe if she doesn't, we should sue?

> That she expects to earn a large amount of money by being immediately put into a "management" position and paid vast sums of money solely due to the fact that she is such a wonderful person and "deserves" to be a manager with a large salary.
What are you talking about? Any half-competent career services department should be able to see that anyone that lawsuit-happy who has that big of a sense of entitlement has a bright future at the RIAA (or any of the other MAFIAA franchises).
This is just a simple matter of matching up the person's personality and skill set to the right organization...

I think the word you were really looking for is millimeters.
in fact, almost every US citizens is descended from immigrants!
Technically, anyone not born in the Mesopotamia region is likely descended from immigrants, whether you are an evolutionist or a creationist :)
Wait... high/low education is related to terrain!? Then the people in the Netherlands must be quite dumb considering a large part of the country is below sea level.
Whenever I read a headline like this I think to myself, "Alright, some jackass is trying to get a bunch of attention. Surely there must be more to this story."
Imagine my surprise when I realized that, no, the title is 100% accurate. Amazing.

Well, they do enjoy wooden shoes. ;)
How amazed would you be to suddenly find that you just forgot what I wrote and you needed to reread my post.... again.
Wow.
I work 7 days most weeks, often from about 9 am to well past dark.
Starting a company can do that to you.
But I want to build a pipeline.
I am tired of hauling buckets.
You bucket-hauler, you.
Paula, is that you?
What?
If she's hot I'll take her as a secretary; but she's not getting more than 35k, and business ethics aren't factoring into this hiring decision at all.

Yep. I had never even HEARD of Monroe College and I grew up in the northeast. Does anyone else notice an uncanny similarity between the blue and yellow logos at Monroe College and Monro Muffler ?
