From the department of "now I've seen everything", recent college graduate Trina Cherisse Thompson is suing her college because they can't find her a job.
Reading the complaint [PDF], it looks like she should be suing her high school as well, for failing to teach her the basics of spelling and grammar. The 27-year old C-student with excellent attendance is "sueing" for a "reinbursement" of her entire 4-year "tutision" plus damages because she actually had to look for a job on her own. She alleges that the college hasn't even been able to get her "a interview".
I think it's pretty obvious that we've got a whole mess of people attending college that shouldn't be there by now.
I'm hoping that by the time my children (who aren't born yet) are around 18 years old that college is no longer teaching what high school should have.

I had to go all the way to the end to find her major. Her degree is in business admiinistration. I'd think spelling well enough to write a memo to a customer without embarassing your employer would be required...
