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!

    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.

    For not teaching her about how stupid it is to file frivolous lawsuits.

    Unless she sues the customers of the world for not buying her product/service.

    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.

    "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...

    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.

    It's got to be more pleasant working on algorithms than being elbow deep in somebody's toilet.

    Especially if an overflow occurs.
