Dear Miss Thompson - Jobs Are Not A Sure Thing

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A recent college graduate is suing her alma mater for $72,000 -- the full cost of her tuition and then some -- because she cannot find a job.

Dear Miss Trina Thompson,

I am sorry to inform you but obs after college are not a gaurantee. Just because you spent 70,000 USD does not mean you will have a spot at a prestegious corporation. Sorry to be so blunt, but life is not fair.

At 27, it sounds like you have a lot of life experiences you have yet to experience. Tought times, and a difficult job search are obviously the first lesson you must learn.

The second thing you should know, something that is sadly overlooked, is that like it or not grades don't count for much in the real world. The real world to a great degree does not care where you went to school or what GPA you received. Life is about dealing with people. You need to communicate well, be empathetic, and have strategies for winning over people that will support you in this world.

Such lessons are difficult to learn. Some people just have the gift, others can learn it, and yet others will never quite get it. From your actions it seems that you haven't figured this one out yet, but I hope you will learn.

Remember just because you wen't to college doen't mean you are entitled to anything other than that piece of paper. The rest of the things in life that you want to achieve must get gotten on your own.

Best of Luck,
