    since when is it up to anybody but us to find our own jobs. This just goes to show that we are the land of frivolous lawsuits. Let her come to Dixie and try and make it on 400 a month like Im having to. of course I dont have a degree, but its still tough all over. A girl Ive een talking to over the internet says she makes a grand a week and she cant make it? WHAT? Youre kidding me. Give me that 1000 per and Ill live high on the hog. Now as for little miss priss in NY, I suggest you get used to not having a job if youre gonna start whining any time things dont go your way

    If she won, I was going to try that myself when I graduate.

    Just Kidding.

    That girl needs a reality check.

    I've attended 'higher education' schools that, although accredited, were not state-owned universities that advertised things to the affect of 'if you go to school here, we'll help you get a job later'.

    Of course, that wasn't the reason I attended those schools and didn't bother with their employment recruiting program, so, I don't know how effective they were or not.

    However, if the school advertised they would help her get a job ... she may have a leg to stand on - you know, in court.

    The key word being "help." This is frivolous.
