Gaydos: No cash 4 this clunker!

Trina Thompson went to college looking to better herself and boost her chances of finding a job once she got out of school. She says she can't find employment, so instead of trying harder to do so, she is suing her college. She wants a refund from her alma mater, Monroe College. Trina says she wants back the $70,000 she spent on tuition because she hasn't found a job yet since receiving her bachelor's degree in April. She is quoted as saying "they have not tried hard enough to help me" find employment.
Poor little baby...You haven't found a job since graduating four months ago?? My buddy with a wife and two kids has been unemployed since last November! The gall of this woman! Listen honey, I don't know if your brain can handle the information I'm about to give you, but let's give it a try anyway. Here are the reasons why you have not found a job:
1. You're lazy and you haven't tried hard enough yet.
2. You're lazy and it's only been four months since you graduated! It takes time to find a gig!!
3. Worst economy since the Great Depression. That means Trina, it's hard for anyone to get a job now.
4. You'd rather hire a lawyer than send out applications.
5. You're pathetic.
6. You were raised in an era of society that blames and sues people instead of taking responsibility for themselves.
I graduated from Syracuse University. It took me over a year to find a job. I had to live with my parents off and on at the time. I didn't cry nor moan about it, and I certainly didn't hire an attorney either. Sometimes Trina, it's tough out there. You might have to work at Pizza Hut or a ham store to get by for a while. But I can tell, you'd rather have someone else, a lawyer, do your dirty work for you. You want a job handed to you on a silver platter!
I got paid $15,000 in 1996 at another Phoenix radio station. I put my head down and worked 15 hours a day to get a raise the next year. I've said it time and time again - I feel that I'm a pretty smart guy, but nowhere near the smartest; I just worked harder than everyone else. I have a crazy and insane work ethic. That's how I've lived my life and maybe that's how several others have gotten ahead in the world. So when I hear some snot nosed spoiled college grad like Trina complain like this, it makes me want to tell her to give up. Just quit! Go find some rich guy and marry him so you can sit out by the pool and eat yourself to death.
Oh, and Trina, when you lose this very public battle with your college, and you will, who's going to ever want to hire you after this lawsuit?! You've obviously proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you lack credibility, have a poor work ethic, terrible decision making skills, no guts and a lawyer on speed dial ready to receive your call if you don't get your way. And honey, if you can't find that rich idiot hubby to take care of you, when you do in fact get your first job, you better get used to hearing this phrase: "Yes, I'd like fries with that."
