Alumna sues college because she hasn’t found a job

Read this CNN article.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/08/03/new.york.jobless.graduate/index.html

Today if you want a job in IT getting a Business Administration Degree in Information Technology is probably not the way to go. But parents, the media and conventional wisdom keep sending kids to college when there are frequently better ways to go.

She probably would have been far better off getting a Cisco, Microsoft or Oracle certification at a far lower cost and a much shorter investment in time. Then she could get out in the work world and start learning on the job.

I wonder how much student debt this woman racked up in the process? And by the way student debt is not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
