Can't get a job. Sue college.

Suing the college because she can not get a job. Someone needs a reality check.

She probably got loans and grants with she will default on and we will end up paying for. What a waste of oxygen. It's here fault she can't get a job with a C average in today's economy. It's everyone fault and she needs to be compensated. Who the he'l. Will hire here after this? She'll probably complain her employer isn't doing enough to help her do her job to prevent her termination.

I don't know how to react to a story like that.

A) This country is fuched
B) She is an absolute retard, who has killed any chance she had of getting a job. Who's going to hire some angry biatch with a proven track record of suing at the drop of a hat?
C) Astonishing. Oh, because she went to college, she is entitled to a job.
D) As bad as she is, I'm sure there's a union out there willing to take her money and cram her down some employers throat.
E) See item A

I hope she doesn't win.

It would set a bad precedent.

It would be like winning the lottery just as soon as you picked anthropology, English, women's studies....

She'd better either win enough to retire on or go into the witness protection program. She will never ever get a job after this.

I take that back. Some law firm could use her for recruiting new class action plaintiffs, ala Erin Brockovich.

I'd go to another country. Money will solve the problem. I'd also opt for veterinary school. But, that's just me. I'd rather talk to dogs and cats.

She can get hired in the new Obama-land agency, where everyone is there to help you out even though you don't deserve it and are not qualified. Sign up here and get all the help you want and need, cradle to grave, that's our motto. Then, when you can't do the job, we'll promote you to superviser, better rank and pay, then you can train somebody to do nothing.

who pays for this foolishness?
i only hope the judge calls frivolous and throws it and her out of court.

"Thompson says she has not hired an attorney to represent her because she cannot afford one. When she filed her complaint, she also filed a "poor person order," which exempts her from filing fees associated with the lawsuit."

Three month job search? God forbid. I know students who spent a year looking for a job. In the meantime they were working multiple odd jobs to float rent.

What a dumb b*tch.

Of course she could get a job, just not one fitting her high stature and expectations. She's like most little turds coming out of college today, they want everything right from the start. She has a very rude awakening coming if she thinks life is that easy.

I hope she falls down a manhole while texting her BF!

In her complaint, Thompson says she seeks $70,000 in reimbursement for her tuition and $2,000 to compensate for the stress of her three-month job search.

I hope if she does get a job she only makes $8,000 a year ....that is what she thinks she is worth.

Any employer that has access to complex tools like Google will be wise enough to not hire her. Karma baby!
