I finished college last year,  and since then I havent found work. I spent a ton of money to go to college worked hard and finished with good grades. But now I cant find work, I called my college to get some help and they have failed to so do. I feel like I have been robbed of 80,000.

so let me get this straight...

you realized we were in a recession and yet you still thought it was a good idea to go into a horrible job market and not stay in school to pursue a masters in a major that is a big of a joke as communications? instead of being pissed at the college for robbing you of your "well invested" money, how about you go home, slap your mom in the face and kick your dad in the balls for raising you to be such an idiot.

Meh I don't really feel like I got robbed.  I'm going to grad school for medical science right now and going to med school next year, so I'll end up paying a shitload of money, but it will all be worth it when I'm making $500,000+ a year.

This is crazy never realised how much American's get robbed by their college/universities. In Scotland the government pays for four  years of tuition and if your parents make less than £33,000 a year then you qualify for a bursary that you don't need to pay back, plus if you have to travel to college/university then that is paid for you as well and they don’t even check if you claim for the right amount, this year I claimed for £634 travel money, even though it only cost about £475, 2 weeks later £634 in my bank account no questions asked and there is plenty of people who claim way more ridiculous amounts.

funny this thread should pop up now. because this is exactly what i would say.

ive got one more semester left at my JC in Minnesota, then im taking a half expense paid trip to Westminster in utah. (to finish up undergrad) (moral of the story good grades speak)

my professors at my JC were mostly people that had made money doing other things, realized they liked teaching, and alot adjunct at some of the most prestigious universities in the state. they like the JC because you actually get to know the professor.

man, schools in the USA are sooooooo expensive. my tuition is about $4000 per year....
i am doing a business degree, with a major in accounting to do my CA, and part of my classes i feel like i am being ripped off and i wonder how some of my profs have jobs, but oh well.
i just can't believe that some of you pay over 30k a year. i wont pay over that for my entire degree!

first off where do you go to school that it costs $80,000 for 4 years, maybe thats why they suck so bad at helping you find a job and you and like every other kid in america that just graduated college is having a wicfked hard time finding a job, getting a job is all about connections/everything in life is about connections and who you know

im done with my associates minus a math class.

robbed. but then again i dicked around and it took me THREE YEARS to get an associates.

and lastly...i didn't get an associates degree in much of anything. about half way in to my associates degree my community college expanded the amount of computer classes they offered, and then put together a bunch of nice programs for new students to take. myself i was just kinda filling in my objectives with some of those classes.

college experience means nothing anyways it seems. its all theory. no hands on skills.
