The job market’s tough for everyone, including IT pros and recent graduates. Let’s hope this doesn’t become a common way of dealing with it:
Trina Thompson graduated from Monroe College in April, receiving a bachelor’s degree in IT. Since then, she’s yet to find a job.
Who or what is to blame for the three whole months of unemployment? The economy? Her lackluster 2.7 GPA?
Thompson’s blaming Monroe. She says “the Office of Career Advancement did not help me with a full-time job placement.” Among the office’s transgressions: finding jobs for students with good grades. “They favor more toward students that got a 4.0,” Thompson said.
As a result, she wants $70,000 worth of tuition repaid, the The New York Post reports.
Oh, and she wants an extra $2,000 for “the stress I have been going through looking for a Full Time job on my own.”
It must be stressful: Thompson was so worked up she misspelled the word “tuition” in her court documents.
