Jobless woman sues college for $70K

[Kappamd]

No wonder she can't get a job. What an idiot.

She thought finding a job was hard before this? Ha! I am sure companies will be lining up to hire someone who can't take accountability for her own actions/weaknesses, and who, at the first oppotunity will pursue a lawsuit. Yea, companies, looooove litigious-happy employees.

As everyone else has said, what a royal idiot. Good luck with the job search after all this.

Just when you think you've heard it all, this one takes the cake. Just because you have a degree doesn't mean you'll get a job. It also doesn't mean your school's job assistance office will find you a job. Besides, looking at the upcoming first year college bill for the oldest child, $70k for a bachelor's degree doesn't sound all that bad to me (not that this is directly related, simply an observation).

It's not that $70K is a lot for college (I believe that my undergraduate education cost twice that amount). It's that she spent that much on a pretty poorly regarded school, when she could have attended a local public college for a fraction of that. Seriously, the only time I've ever heard of this school is on signs in the subway, right next to the ads for $200 divorces and personal injury attorneys. I can't feel badly for someone who made a bad investment without doing any research.
