Information Technology degree is just as useful as a Philosophy degree.

IT jobs weren't in a large demand four (or five) years ago when she started her degree program. Should have done some research eh?

This is almost as bad as the man who tried to sue his high school because he couldn't read. He blamed his high school for not forcing him to learn to read.

The article contains so LITTLE information. I have never heard of Monroe. If it IS one of those technical colleges, I would be interested to know more about its marketing materials. Because frankly a few of the commercials DO make it sound like a degree from their fine scam...er...school is a ticket to the good life. Most of us know such representations are hot air. But I could imagine someone...say the child of a recent immigrant...who might take those representations at face value.

Otherwise, however, I agree with the general opinion on this thread. My hope was always that my degree would at least get me an interview. From that point, the rest was up to me. But it is darned hard to get ahead if you can't get in front of a live human being so they can see your value.

oh yes,

what kind of lawyer would take up such a case? Oh wait, any of them....

Way to avoid addressing the systemic flaws of our monetary policy that led to the current economic crisis...

I'll bet it gets thrown out of court.

She ought to sue the Fed for fucking up the economy with a currency that is backed by debt rather than value.

I'd like to know what her GPA is? If it's not a 4.0, she's got really no one to blame but herself. Seriously, your input determines what you will get after college. Where is she looking for jobs, too? That's the key to success. Information technology is a growing field. She is probably not looking hard enough for a job, and wants the easy way out.

This is the kind of person that makes hard-working college students like me look like parasites to society. She has it pretty easy for her major, which there is a growing demand for people. I think she's just trying to milk the system.

Another victim in sue-happy society.

I loved my time at college, it broadened my horizons and opened many doors for me.

Now if I could only sue my employer for what I was really worth to them ...

Why stop there sue your high school, middle school, elementary school, pre-school since our educational system is producing worthless morons who are unable to live in the real world!

Next objective : Sue your High School

Title is somewhat misleading, since she didn't go to a standard "4-year" college/university. Its hard to tell details from the article, but I believe that Monroe is one of those tech schools that advertises the fact that it helps it's student's find work after school. If that's the case, then her law suit could have merit.

It's not like she's suing a private liberal arts school because she can't find work with a BA in English.

You know, I have attended a good university (in my humble opinion) and a bad university (faculty politics soiled all), so I can totally see where she is coming from if her education was hindered due to inter-faculty bickering, but if they did their jobs, she's looking for someone to blame & that is just pathetic.

Shoulda went to Devry.

This story is ridiculous! What an idiot. She graduated in April! Why not look for a job BEFORE you graduate? Also, she is blaming the school for basically not finding a job for her...wtf? I bet she'll never find a job now! This is how our recent grads act? omg help us!

She only graduated 4 months ago! If she wanted work right after she graduated, she should have had a job lined up BEFORE she graduated.

Good one L !, I mean Nettle........

She probably can't get hired because she's a whiny complaining nag.

But seriously, a degree isn't a guarantee for a job, or even a good job. It raises your chances considerably, but it's not a sure thing by far.

Utterly ridiculous, however I am very interested in seeing how this will play out in the courts. I reckon if she fares rather well, there is be quite a number of people filing suit against their former universities, but more so, people filing against rubbish 'colleges' such as: Full Sail, University of Phoenix, etc.

I hope she gets laughed out of court and ordered to pay all court fees... Seriously, people like this are a drain on this country/world/etc.

Boohooohoo.......she got her degree- that's what she paid for. It's not the colleges fault she can't find a job. Yes, they are a racket- when I hear college tuition is 50k a year- anyone that stupid deserves to be fleeced. You can get an education just as well for 10k a year. It's like some people will only buy Kraft macaroni n' cheese, and some will stick with the generic store brand- quality is identical, price is much cheaper.

Hilarious

lol awesome
