<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>Is she going to give back her education?</p>
<p>I hate how damn sue-happy this country has gotten. I hope she loses.</p>
<p>College doesn’t guarantee a job, the only thing it guarantees is that they teach and you learn.</p>
<p>She should sue her school for allowing her to graduate and remain so stupid.</p>
<p>I don’t see how you don’t think her lawsuit is fair. In this economy, she should have no problem finding the job of her dreams in a few months. They owe her tuition money back.</p>

<p>Re: "I don’t see how you don’t think her lawsuit is fair. "</p>
<p>Their argument seems pretty clear. College has no obligation to provide their graduates a job. Their only obligation is to educate.</p>
<p>If she should have no problem finding a job, then isn’t it fair to say she’s probably the one doing something wrong?</p>
<p>he was being sarcastic</p>
<p>LOL. Sorry, I was being sarcastic. I guess it didn’t come across in print.</p>
<p>Ah, I see. My fault, I didn’t get that.</p>
<p>lol, I read that as s/he was being serious too. I was like “***?”
there should be like a “/sarcasm” requirement on all posts with sarcasm.</p>
<p>In my defense, I’m still a little less than sober haha.</p>
<p>haha well -I would be mad at the school for not caring what happens to me after graduation. Colleges need to help their students out after they graduate! Career services need to work harder to find more suitable positions. If they truly did their best to find somewhere for her to work, including on campus jobs or something than they don’t deserve this. Suing is pretty dumb though - ill have to admit. Suing is not going to help anything but to make your debt worse because of lawyer expenses and court expenses… etc.</p>
<p>Has anyone else researched what ‘Monroe College’ actually is? It’s a proprietary college of business and health sciences, probably similar to something like ITT Tech that promises its graduates employable skills in their incessant sales pitch.</p>
<p>So now she gets to pay the stupidity tax that is their tuition? Ok.</p>
<p>I’ve heard of it, I’m not really familiar with it. But if they promise employable skills, then she got the skills, right? If she came out as clueless as she went in, then I guess I could understand her case but unless the literally promise a job…</p>
