Adventures in Frivolous Lawsuits

How silly is this?
She went to college to boost her chances of finding a great job once she got out of school, but now that that hasn't happened, Trina Thompson wants her money back.

Thompson, a graduate of Monroe College, is suing her school for the $70,000 she spent on tuition because she hasn't found solid employment since receiving her bachelor's degree in April, according to a published report.

The business-oriented school in the Bronx didn't do enough to help her find a job, Thompson alleges, so she wants a refund. The college says it does plenty for grads.

The 27-year-old information-technology student accuses the school's Office of Career Advancement for not living up to its end of the deal and offering her the leads and employment advice it promised, according to The New York Post.

"They have not tried hard enough to help me," the beleaguered Bronx resident wrote in her lawsuit, filed July 24 in Bronx Supreme Court.

Can I just go out on a limb and guess she voted for Obama?

this isn't much of a limb, but I'll bet she votes for him again! :P

Even with a "sheepskin" there are always people who always want to blame other's for their short-comings. Just because she graduated from this school doesn't necessarily mean she has much to offer potential employers! She just might have been the class dunce.
