    Well, given that I've never practiced, and the only money I've made as an attorney is work I've done in my free time, I don't feel too bad I don't have income from litigation.

    Of course not. But I wouldn't be a legally uneducated pro se plaintiff.

    Well, if you wouldn't take the Allen Iverson approach to practice, perhaps you'd be better at litigation.

    If she thinks job placement assistance means the college is going to call prospective employers... good grief. They will help you but it isn't like they are going to track her down and force her to do it. Minstrel... proactive?? How so? Proactive would have been to show up at the office and actually work with them... I doubt she did that... probably sat on a couch and then wondered why a job didn't come knocking at the door.

    With all due respect, only $200 and the right telephone number will get you laid.

    Some colleges state they have a job placement center and in reality they offer no help at all. I'm not so sure it's a basis for a lawsuit, but I can understand her frustration.

    When I think about all the things threatening the fabric of this country, the "it's someone else's fault" mentality is damn near at the top. What happened to personal accountability?

    Wow, a solid attendance record, and a 2.7 GPA from Monroe College of the Bronx.

    Hard to believe employers aren't all over that.
