NYC woman who graduated in April sues college for $70K in tuition because she can't find job
(AP) 08:42:31 PM (ET), Sunday, August 2, 2009 (NEW YORK)
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.

* Someone should remind her about this country's( U.S.A ) economic whoas. People have been losing their jobs ! She isn't guaranteed a position right after graduating. I have to commend these schools for trying. I wonder if she is job hunting on her own besides waiting for the college to locate one. ? *
