Could also be that the "degree" she has isn't worth the paper its printed on. There are a lot of those colleges out there which offer useless degrees that are poorly taught or totally out of date. You see them advertising on TV a lot aimed at people who want to stop working at Mc Donnalds.

If we can sue for stress now, I'm suing everyone on my morning commute.

4yrs@ $70,000.00 Cheap. Try 4yrs@ USC, UCLA, UofW, Harvard,ect.ect.

And I haven't even scratched the surface of top rated Colleges.

None of the above Gaurantee you a job.

True. Try adding some advanced degrees on top of that, all of which would be entirely out-of-pocket, and that still gaurantees you nothing. It's a hard world out there. I was valedictorian of my high school class and graduated suma cum laude as an undergrad. On top of that, I hold both a Masters and Doctorate, and I still had to go on quite a few interviews to find work, as I was rejected multiple times. Heck, I taught grade school after my Masters, and then moved on to high school, which is not where I wanted to be either.

This university job is nice, but it didn't just land in my lap. People just think that they're going to get it all handed to them, and seem genuinely suprised when that isn't the case.

She should have looked into internships and would have walked right into a job when she graduated.

2.7GPA leads me to believe most of her internship was at the local frat house I TAPPA KEG.
