Do you think she is right to sue?  | | Alumna sues college because she hasn't found a job.Monroe College graduate says career office didn't help her with job placement. She seeks $70,000 for tuition and $2,000 to compensate for stress. Office shows preferential treatment to students with better grades, she says. College says it is "committed to working with all its students.
I think this just goes to show that we are an over litigious society! Everbody SUE..so sad.

BLaming the college is wrong. Its not their fault. And other students who have graduated are most likely having trouble as well. She may have just started another problem that will cause others to react the same way or worse.

| | 4. us2owls (2035) | 5 months ago | I think the woman is a nut case - maybe after her filing this the college should sue her for slanderous remarks. I hope the judge - whoever it may be throws the suit and her out of the courtroom. My daughter has a degree in business and one in accounting but she cannot find a job in either field at the present time - jobs in anything are hard to find right now - but my daughter sure isn't suing the college. I hope that all this woman gets out of her stupidity is a large bill from the lawyer who was ignorant enough to take the case to court.

| | 6. coffeebreak (4850) | 5 months ago | I know what you mean about everyone just sue happy... and without knowing the details...I am not surprised she might have a case. I have heard these schools commericals and they do tote proudly that they help student get a job after they graduate. Does that only apply to A students only... was that disclosed? Does it say that in the contract they sign? Do they help all, and what do they do if they can't find a job for every graduate? Spending that much money and time on the presence of a job at the end and not getting help to get a job even tho you graduated with proper grades...breach of contract I'd say. And in this case.. yeah... I think if it is that.. the schools should have to pay up.

| | 7. highflyingxangel (9033) | 5 months ago | I feel like she could be well within her rights to sue if this wasn't such an obvious case of, I'm jobless, I'm broke so to get the money I need and want, I'm going to sue someone else for it instead of actually working hard for it. I will be pretty sorely disappointed if she actually wins this case.
It sounds like to me, she didn't work hard in school, came out on the lower end of the spectrum and didn't work hard to build up her resume, so now, no one wants to hire her because she has a poor work ethic and her resume lacks anything that stands out, so instead of trying to find a job, she's just hitting up other people for money.
