AN DIEGO (CBS 8) - A former local law student is suing her alma mater for $50 million, after she couldn't find a job.
The student, San Diegan Anna Alaburda, graduated with honors from the Thomas Jefferson School of Law and passed the bar on her first try. She claims she has been unable to find full-time work as an attorney for the past three years.
Degrees and schools DO NOT MATTER if you do not make a good impression on an interview. This person may have bombed on her interviews or demanded too much money for an entry-level attorney.

She is an adult, supposedly "smart"...one would have thought she would have done some research before committing to school...not just listening to the admissions people with their flowery speeches, and flattery. Also, I am sort of thinking...loser....if she could not find a job...she was not looking too hard, or being very, very picky...or has some major flaws.

Absolutely and totally false when it comes to law school. Name on the degree is almost everything.
Good school=good internships=good contacts=good jobs. Lower tier school=crap internship at public housing gig=zilch contacts=minimal job offers, if any.
Alright so WTF are these boatful of young academically inclined-enough-to-graduate-college-twice supposed to do then? Stock the shelf at Walmart for 8/hr? Pissing on these kids' lack of alternatives is all rah rah but let's take this equation to the mathematical limit shall we? What will the social landscape look like when the level of dispossession amongst our young child-bearing tax base is all a bunch of JD holding walmart greeters? WTF gives? We're gonna eat our Schadenfreude through our teeth that's what.
She wasn't in a T1 school. Noted. But this chick ain't the lowest common denominator, not by a mile. That is NOT a very flattering statistic about the economic competitive advantage of this country going forward. We can't all be Lebron James, or a self-made famous-for-nothing Kardashian, just like we can't all be graduates of T1 law school. People don't die quietly into the night when they get saddled with 200K worth of debt for a shot at a false dream that was the only alternative to the walmart wage. Instead, they default the system, or torch the mall if you get too uppity about their whining. I hope she wins that lawsuit, rattle that cage, upset the canoe. If you're gonna lose in life, make it unbearable for the winners to enjoy the mall on the weekends.
She is definitely using her law degree...too bad she went to such a crappy school and expected them to have a job waiting for her. I guess I can see the disappointment if I went to Harvard Law, Yale or Stanford but she should know better than to sue her alma mater. Guess they didn't teach her that well.
Well, hopefully she'll win the suit and put them out of business.
That takes out one law school but leaves one lawyer. Mmm? Yeh, that works.
