Trina Thompson does not feel that she got a sheepskin from Monroe College — just skinned. Thompson, 27, has sued after she failed to get a job and wants her $70,000 back.
The basis of the lawsuit seems entirely frivolous and could result in sanctions unless the college made (unlikely) promises of employment.
She accuses the Office of Career Advancement for not providing her sufficient support — a common complaint among students.
The college promises a lifetime of free service for graduates, but it does not promise a job. Thompson feels that the college falsely promised support and leads for jobs.

Don’t we all, just want a job?

I’m sure that, somewhere, there’s a job scrubbing toilets for this woman.
Hi, Obloodyhell.
Isn’t it weird that some people couldn’t be paid enough to clean?
(is that a pancake on your head?)
You know, I was clipping my toe nail the other day and got too close to the skin and nipped a piece of my toe off. It hurt really bad and bleed a little to. I think I am going to sue the maker of those clippers. Somebody has to pay for my pain and suffering. Sarcasm off.
Damn! We are a suing happy nation. Ridiculous.

That’s hilarious. On what grounds is she suing the college if she is not personally employable?
