Are you one of the many recent grads who bought into the whole - get a Degree, get a job sales pitch from universities? If so, you probably know the reality from the sales pitch. At least that is true for one recent college grad from the Bronx, who has decided to go after her college for the $70,000 she spent in pursuit of a fruitless degree in Information Technology. Wow. That is a lot of money for a Bachelor's Degree especially while still looking for work 3 months following after graduation. It is unlikely that she will recover anything since the psychology game is "sell them a degree" while "getting a job" is the student's problem. Of course, that is usually after the University or College has collected the money. Talk about a smoke and mirror charade. Shame on you. Duping college students out of their money (actually Uncle Sam's money) based on half baked job market projections and self serving job market analysis. This is a real dumb problem to have. Ask yourself, would you buy a car without knowing if you could get gas for it or get it serviced by a nearby service center? Probably not. Then why do we allow students to be sold degrees without a fore knowledge of market demand for the Degree sought? Especially, for student's who need student loans. Geez. How do you expect them to repay the loan if they can't get a job? Seems like common sense huh. As the saying goes, "Common sense aint to common"
