Trina Thompson gives new meaning to the term “educated fool”, in my humble opinion. Trina recently graduated from college. That by itself should be commended. A lot of people start college and don’t finish. However, Trina can’t find gainful employment - according to her. So instead of going out and busting her butt to do whatever she can to find a job, this chick decides to sue the school for not doing enough to help her. I’m sorry but I have to say it the way I feel it - Bitch, the school HELPED you by allowing you to get a degree! What else do you think they owe you? I’m sorry to curse, (well I’m not really sorry), but it had to be said! What is wrong with people? Doesn’t she have ANYTHING better to do than file lawsuits? 

In my opinion, this is a classic example of someone being so stupid that they perhaps should NOT be employed. I know that I personally wouldn’t ever want her near my McDonald’s french fries without the common sense required to correctly apply the salt. What is wrong with her? Does she realize that the country is in a recession? Does she realize that people across the nation have lost their jobs? Does she realize that a college degree isn’t a guarantee of a job? Does she realize that a college is not a job placement agency?

Now, not only does she look like a fool to any and every employer - she also appears to be stupid AND uneducated. Instead of looking at her glass as half empty, she could have done something creative like dress up in a nice business suit, made herself a sign that said “Educated | Talented | Motivated - If you are looking for a great employee - you have found me!”, called local news stations to say where she was going to be and then made an event of it. That would have generated a tremendous amount of press - reporters are always looking for fresh stories - and it would have made her seem inventive, talented and smart. Instead, she decides to take the little bit of money she does have and go file a lawsuit against a college that makes no guarantees about employment after graduation. What an idiot!

Unfortunately for Trina, the Internet has a long life span. News outlets and bloggers have picked up on this story and it is being distributed everywhere. She is going to have to change her name to put this behind her. Maybe she wasn’t thinking that far ahead. Maybe she doesn’t care. Instead of looking smart to employers, she looks angry, inpatient, irrational and lacking in the common sense department - all of the things that employers love in a new employee (sarcasm there) right? All I can say is that suing a college because you can’t find a job after graduation is stupid - very stupid indeed. 

Good luck Trina! From the looks of things you are going to need luck more than the degree.
