I really wish I had of thought of this one! 27 year old Trina Thompson filed a lawsuit last year in April 2009 against Monroe College in Bronx Supreme Court. Thompson is seeking the $70,000 she spent on tuition. She says that she has been unable to find employment since she graduated in April. She also states that the school has not provided her with the job leads that they promised. Although I think she will lose her case because her winning might set a precedence for all jobless college grads to sue their school it still is ballsy of her. Suing your college after graduation because you cannot find employment! I like it. Imagine if more college grads did the same? Would this mean more graduates of the top online colleges would be filing lawsuits? Unfortunately in this economy going to any college is a roll of the dice. You might have success and you might not. It depends on if you are able to use those skills you learned to work the system. When I first graduated in 2006 it took me a very long time to find employment and it when I did it was not in my field. I felt for a long time that I had wasted years of my life/money in school. A situation like this is what gives college a bad name. It is like, you put your heart and soul into studying, doing well, learning, taking a bunch of classes, some that you really don’t need or have nothing to do with your major. You graduate and think the world is yours. That’s what Nas said right? Not the case. Instead you end up working a job that you hate and has nothing to do with what you studied in school. I’m not hating on college because it does have its benefits. I’m just saying that I can see how someone could believe that going to college does not always benefit everyone equally. For some the most you gain is more life experience. Trina Thompson, you are a ballsy chick. I like that!
