<p>Not sure what she is suing for, hopefully it is only to bring attention to the problem. Everybody is in the same situation now though. I went to a top 40 school and graduated in 2002 with an MIS degree and have been out of a job for over a year now. I’ve worked for several big companies, and I’ve never been fired… nobody is hiring right now… so… she shouldn’t feel too bad.</p>
<p>I’m actually trying to get OUT of IT as the situation hasn’t been good for awhile… There are so many unemployed people out here in the Bay Area as well so the competition is fierce for menial duties… I will probably move to another market after the holidays.</p>
<p>I do agree that some colleges are a bit predatorial in how they sway people do liberal art degrees for instance. </p>
<p>My gf’s brother has a dual degree in liberal arts from Cal State, he has NEVER had a real job since graduating in 2004.</p>
