Values- Old School Versus Everyone gets a trophy
#5
37-year-old who says she can't get a lawyer job after applying to 150 firms loses her lawsuit against her school 


Quote:A jury has ruled against a 37-year-old graduate of the Thomas Jefferson School of Law who claimed that the school defrauded her when she attended nearly a decade ago, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
A San Diego, California, jury ruled 9-3 in favor of the school, handing a victory to TJSL — since civil cases in that state don't require a unanimous jury vote.

During the trial, a lawyer for the TJSL graduate, Anna Alaburda, argued that the school promoted a misleading employment rate for its graduates. That lawyer claimed TJSL neglected to disclose that many graduates it touted as "employed" were actually working in hair salons or bookstores, or even selling tractors, as the Union-Tribune reported.

The school defended itself by arguing that Alaburda had at one point turned down work and by contending that many of its graduates have successful careers in law.


and a little later


Quote:But despite her academic successes, she said, Alaburda has been unable to find full-time employment as a lawyer.

She has sent her résumé to more than 150 law firms and received only one job offer, which "was less favorable than non-law related jobs that were available to her," the suit says.

In addition, Alaburda said, she graduated with $150,000 in student-loan debt — a figure that has since ballooned to $170,000 when accounting for interest.



Now to the trophy gen
Do we see the error here?

Here is the major issue
She expects to recieve a job equal to what she spent
it is the equivalent of letting the car salesman tell you that the lotus is affordable.. Besides you will be able to impress people and it will pay for itself

See the problem
Issues here
-no networking listed

You know prehustle and internships


-no cases

I see no attempt to gather up some cases
make a name for herself in the bush leagues


So lets get to the most of old fashion value measure stick I can think of

Lets say you match a person of interest in a terror attack
The cops are breathing down your neck

Would you hire this woman to represent you?

Why was that the answer?
After all she has a degree in the field

So old schools vote is no

Trophy Gen's vote??
