A New York City woman who says she can’t find a job is suing the college where she earned a bachelor’s degree.
Trina Thompson filed a lawsuit last week against Monroe College in Bronx Supreme Court. The 27-year-old is seeking the $70,000 she spent on tuition.
Thompson says she’s been unable to find gainful employment since she received her information technology degree in April.
She says the Bronx school’s Office of Career Advancement hasn’t provided her with the leads and career advice it promises.
Monroe College spokesman Gary Axelbank says Thompson’s lawsuit is completely without merit.
The college insists it helps its graduates find jobs. (AP)
Reader response:
“I cant believe you even picked this story up? why give her more media attention? What is the purpose? I graduated years ago and have been back to the career office and they were not very helpful to me as an alumnae, that doesnt give me the right to sue them or does it? I would also like to know where she found a Lawyer to help her?? I am surprised , what has this to do with business or unemployment in CT? — Patricia Bruhn, Pebbles GraphicsÂ
