Thompson is suing where she got her bachelors degree, Monroe College, for being the reason why she does not have a job. Monroe College is unique because it has three semesters, so students take classes all year round. This allows their students to get their bachelor's degree in under three years.
The 27-year-old filed for a $70,000 lawsuit last week, which was the cost of her tuition. With a degree in Information Technology, Thompson has been unsuccessfully looking for a job since April.Apparently Monroe's Career Advancement Office hasn't come through with the promises of employment it gave her while she was an undergrad. Gary Axelbank, the college spokesman, says that the lawsuit is completely without merit.
We shall see how this turns out. But it's a great idea. Nowadays SO MUCH money is being paid to get a degree...and why do we do it? We do it to "further our education", of course, but we also do it so that we can obtain a great job. And a College or University usually gives us that promise in exchange for our money. (It's really all about the money, baby.)
So if we graduate and end up not getting a job, shouldn't we get monetary compensation for our woes?? Whose fault should it be for the unemployment of recent grads, the College/University or ours??

My words are up.
