take control of your life and accept responsibility 

everything in her story was directly caused by active choices that SHE made herself. 
 
He really isn't. Go pull the metrics for that school. It's a terrible school that accepts terrible candidates. She didn't go anywhere better because she couldnt. She knew what the deal was because anyone who's interested in law hears it 100 times over.

She made her life the way it is now by her terrible efforts and terrible decision making.

Sorry to all that I may have offended in this thread and others as of late.
 
Yes I did, I spent all day, hardly got anything done. Now I'm spending all night, whats wrong with me?

People think we are being unfairly hard on her but in reality once you stop blaming the outside world for your own shortcomings life gets so much easier.

for 99.9% of college grads that cant find the job they want they either didnt work hard enough or didnt work smart enough (usually its a combo of both)

i mean im all for the school losing the case and having to give up a bunch of money, hopefully even shutting down

but its still her poor life decisions that lead her to this point

I know you dont really think "being a lawyer" is the poor life choice we are talking about, you're way smarter than that. at this point you're pulling a DCallamerican to avoid admitting that she messed up

What's the poor life choice then?

Wanted to be a lawyer, went to a law school that claimed all graduates get employed, graduated, ended up with one job offer, ONE. Passed on it, moved on to something different, sued school for the fraudulent claims which led to her wasting her time and money.

If you want to say taking out loans to pay for school or passing on the one job offer were poor decisions that's more of a personal choice than a you should be blamed for this.

As far as I see it, the thread topic is totally about the lawsuit and the law school committing fraud or not. Whether she had bad grades and was lazy or the best student in the school's history the fraud is what matters.

This is how numbers are doctored for those that aren't aware. They aren't taking unemployed people and saying they are working. If you are working part-time, temp or full-time you are seen as employed and included in those statistics (these results are from surveys voluntarily filled out BTW). Some schools have gone as far as to include those working at places like Home Depot (which was in the New York Times article from 2010 about this same topic). Is it fraud? No. Are people employed? Yes. Are people being employed with their J.D.? Now that's where the lines blur. Their wording manipulates the statistics much like how graphs are manipulated to affect how people view results. If the ABA mandated that their accredited schools list those employed with their J.D. then you'd have something entirely different, but at the moment schools are allowed to include anyone who is employed regardless of capacity.

even though I'm with antidope in thinking she is 100% to blame for not being able to find a job, I'm all for the downfall of the massive scam that is college education

 It never fails. College is always a scam when things don't turn out as you expected them to be.

Nobody is forcing you to go to school or take 100K+ in student loans.

If you chose to go to an expensive school and get an expensive degree that is on you.
 
College isn't a scam, it's a tool. Overpriced? yes. But just like the girl in OP, most don't do their research and use it properly. However she's right in attacking the fraud in the system (though I have no sympathy for her own plight).
 
College is overpriced, universities take advantage of the system to extract money from students and the federal government

Student debt is getting out of control.

But the fact still remain, a college education is still one of the best investments someone can make
 
It comes down to auditing the school's numbers and the actual language used in its "promise" of employment but I'm still not understanding how she can still claim that it's being manipulated when she was actually offered a full time job. How specific was the school with this as far as the positions that alumni were employed?

Exactly, the labor market is fundamentally unbalanced and the student loan system has many scam like qualities but higher education itself is still very important for individuals and society.
