Can't Find A Job? Sue Your College!

It had to happen sooner or later. Well, it finally happened!

Jobless graduate sues her college

A New York woman who says she cannot find a job is suing the college where she obtained a bachelor's degree, the New York Post reports.

Trina Thompson, 27, filed a lawsuit last week against Monroe College in Bronx Supreme Court.

She is seeking to recover $70,000 (£42,000) she spent on tuition to get her information technology degree.

The ex-student, who received her degree in April, says the college's Office of Career Advancement did not provide her with the leads and career advice it had promised.

What about all those guys who got liberal arts degrees and haven't been able to find jobs for years? Maybe they start a class action lawsuit!

Maybe Trina will sue her student loan lender next.

Are MBA's Over-rated?

According to this interesting article,an MBA isn't all its cut out to be.

While having that M.B.A. might give you a boost, the reality is that the degree generally isn't a guarantee or indicator of your future success. Business success has more to do with leadership, talent and a drive for excellence than it does with having a degree from a prestigious university. An M.B.A. can help you get your foot in the door, but according to Peter D. Crist, chairman of Crist Associates executive search firm, "it's instinct, it's hard work, and it's raw intelligence" that will really help you get ahead.
