I agree 100% Is so sad for me to see a lot of young people blindly thinking about such a thing like private education. A major universitty here once opened a career program on forensic and criminalistic research the same year than the justice system was reformed. They offered some new career focused on filling the new job spots in our justice. Was a major fail, those spots never existed and one year before the first generation graduated they found that nothing that they learned had any use in the system. An average salary here is about $4000 usd a year per family, but most of the people live with $3000 less taxes. We dont have college. For any decent career you need something like $3000 each term. That is an average fulltime job salary for one year each term of your 4 years studing. Any of those kids have any job today. And huge debts with the school. I am saying that I am with the girl. Fuck the people who make bussiness on other people`s education. This is a political lawsuit, not a comercial one. | ||

To make it even worse, 70,000? Wtf? Thats like how much you pay in 4 years at a top tier college like stanford. Really? How the hell do you spend 70,000? What the hell did she do? Spend 20 dollars per meal? She apparently didn't even work part time and all. And she didn't do much in class and got her grade mostly through group work. Are you fcking serious? At her last year, she probably was like oh, i'm graduating, time to look for a job. She could of at least gotten internship for experience, but she doesn't have any. She then goes on blaming the college when its pratically impossible to find a job right now. There are people who spend years repaying their tuition fees and they usually only hold part time jobs coming out of college. Many people have the same degree as she does and have a much better gpa then 2.7 and yet they are still jobless. Many already have had a job and lost their job and are losing their homes. She really needs to wake up to the current situation and not act like a snob. The lawsuit would be much better if a person was to have great grades and spent at least a year looking for jobs after graduation. | ||

Thats worse than my school's unweighted gpa average. She blames that her college isn't landing her with any interviews but really? Thats like saying how its complete bullshit that she didn't get into harvard with 2.7 gpa and absolutely no extra curriculum. To make it even worse, 70,000? Wtf?

The lawsuit would be much better if a person was to have great grades and spent at least a year looking for jobs after graduation. Her point was that the careers office is completely ignoring her and instead focussing on people with better grades who they can help more easily. This makes sense for the college because if you devote a day to getting interviews for top candidates you'll have more success than spending the same time getting interviews for mediocre ones. But if they both pay the same fees for the same service then the careers office should put the effort in with her, even if it's a waste of time. Her case is that they took her money then wrote her off, not that she's not a write off. | ||
