Texas grad suing college because she can't find employment

Here's a swell idea (or not) for recent college grads having trouble finding a job: Sue the school from which you earned a degree.

That's what Trina Thompson is doing.

According to an Aug. 2 article in the New York Post, the 27-year-old Thompson filed a lawsuit in Bronx Supreme Court late last month against Monroe College, which is based in the Bronx. (Read the court filing here.)

Thompson is seeking the $70,000 she spent on tuition, plus $2,000 for the emotional stress associated with an unsuccessful job search over the past three months. She says she has been unable to find gainful employment since earning her bachelor of business administration degree in information technology in April and claims the school's Office of Career Advancement hasn't provided her with the leads and career advice it promised.

Thompson later told CNN.com that she graduated with a 2.7 GPA and had "good" attendance, said Weinberg Law Firm, Texas Employment Lawyer.

While men still consume more alcohol than women and are responsible for a greater number of drunken-driving cases, the gap is shortening.

Saturday, June 20, 2009
By Rich Lord, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Mr. Victor said Mr. Barley's position is nonunion but is subject to civil service protections, allowing him to appeal the firing to the Civil Service Commission within 10 days.

The city hasn't decided whether to hire a new operations coordinator or redistribute those duties, nor whether policies should be changed in the wellness program, which last year included the October golf outing at which employees paid greens fees and had access to alcohol.

Mr. Barley is three years short of eligibility for a full pension but can get a reduced pension.
