I know a number of college graduates who paid far more in tuition who are currently waiting tables, driving cabs, and living with their parents. Maybe this will set a new trend of suing the colleges in class action lawsuits. I hope it does.

I myself have three relatives, college graduates of four year state schools, in that boat. One, a History major, is waiting tables at Olive Garden, another, a Psychology major, is a nurse’s assistant emptying bed pans, another, a Poly-Sci major, is unemployed, and all three ( ages 25-30) are living with their parents and voted for Hillary.

If Trump University can held accountable for failing to properly educate its students for the real world, why not the state colleges and universities?

Their plight is not the fault of the university.

They spent four years pursuing an effectively worthless degree, instead of learning a marketable skill that is in demand.

There a doctrine in law called “ contributory negligence” wherein the plaintiff is guilty of creating their own situation and precluded from recovery.

Not to be overly critical but even in the 1960’s when I was in school, Socialogy and Poli-Sci majors were objects of cackling derision.
