One recent college graduate is so frustrated with her lack of job prospects that she's attempting to sell off her college degree - for $50,000. Stephanie Ritter, a 26-year-old Florida State University alum, has listed her diploma on eBay for the staggering sum to cover the 'actual cost' of attending the school. Now $40,000 in debt and living in Southern California, Stephanie is fed up with being unable to find a job in her field, despite having a Bachelor's degree - so she's come up with a drastic solution to pay off her loans and 'validate my use of time between 2007-2011'.

Tom, you might remember my rant about how I didn’t care to go to college, run up massive debts, then work for 20 years to pay them off only to try to have a baby at age 45. Looks like another woman is seeing the light even though it’s too late for her.

I’ll give her $5 bucks. I always wanted my cat to have a degree.

Exactly what job was she expecting to get with a degree in theater? I’m guessing a little research would have shown that job sites aren’t exactly overflowing with openings for Actress, Director, Choreographer, or Stage Manager.

And sadly for this (almost certainly) obamatron, there are products much more absorbent than her diploma ... and much cheaper.

I almost got a masters in Art Therapy. I don't know WTH I was thinking. Oh yeah, I do, I didn't feel like working yet.

I am probably the least nurturing person on the planet. I would have made a horrible art therapist, even if I ever found employment. LOL

Ashley Madison needs a few good women.

There are no good women on that site. Just whores and skanks.

A reporter for a local paper was looking for a new angle when the circus came to town, so he talked to the guy with a shovel that follows all the animals.

"I hate the elephant the most. And when she eats too much cotton candy from the rubes, it's indescribable! The giraffe actually aims at my head! He's so tall he hits it three times out of five! This is the worst job in the world!"
"If it's that bad, why don't you quit?"
"What, and leave Show Biz?"

She might tell potential employers that she isn't a but she's played one on the stage. That should do it, considering the quality of hiring managers these days.

Poor kid they are so unrealistic, bright, optimistic when they start college at 17 or 18. Then upon graduation comes reality. The only sane majors are engineering, business administration and for the really gifted the hard sciences.

Why on earth would you shell out that much money to “follow your dreams”?

I remember a 1969 letter to the editor of a Dallas newspaper in which a recent graduate from North Texas State was bemoaning the uselessness of his bachelor’s degree in history. To make matters worse, he opined, they never even taught him how to type.

I have an award signed by John Kerry, which I don’t display for obvious reasons. $5 anyone? (OK $3, and I’ll pay shipping)

She’s too stupid to know that you HAVE TO ACTUALLY INTERN FOR FREE IN PERFORMANCES TO GAIN A REPUTATION AND A NETWORK AND WORK AUDITIONS to get paid to do theatre.

The right site for a woman like Miss Ritter is seekinganarrangement.com.

But does she have the looks to reel in a sugar daddy to pay off her loans?
