Can’t get a job upon graduation? Sue your alma matter!

// August 3rd, 2009 // News

A recent college graduate, Ms Thompson of the Bronx, NY, filled a lawsuit against her Alma Matter, Monroe College of New York because she couldn’t get a job after 3 months of searching. In her lawsuit, she is suing Monroe College $70,000 for the full tuition she paid and $2,000 for the stress she had to faced during her job search. With a 2.7 GPA , clean academic attendance and a Bachelors Degrees in Information Technology, Ms Thompson said that Job Counselors at  Monroe College didn’t do their best to ensure she gets a job. She also suggested preferential treatment given by counselors to students with 4.0 GPA, helping them get job placements.

Ms Thompson did not hire an attorney to represent her case because she couldn’t afford one and asked by CNN if she would encourage others to sue their Alma Matters, she replied yes.

IMHO: She’s wasting everyone’s time. If i were the judge assigned to the case, I would throw it out of the court.
2.70 GPA, clean academic records…..haven’t she heard of the Global Economic Crisis?

Love it, loath if? Comments appreciated.
