Tale of 2 Tech Graduates

Let me tell you the tale of two tech graduates.

One who let others decide their fate and is still unemployed

One who took control of their IT career and found a job.

If you’ve been under a rock for the past week, you’ve probably been reading headlines like,

Jobless Woman Sues College for Tuition

Jobless Grad Sues NYC College

IT grad sues school over failed job hunt

According to the New York Post, a student is suing her school the Monroe College for $70,000; she spent on tuition because she can’t find a job. She claims the college hasn’t done enough to find her a job. According to some reports, she has a GPA of 2.7. She says that the school’s Office of Career Advancement hasn’t provided her with the leads and career advice it promises.

After reading this story, it reminded me of a young college student, Kyle, who became a client of mine in the past month. Kyle goes graduated about a month ago with a bachelor’s degree in business management with a concentration in IT. He didn’t have a spectacular GPA. In fact, his GPA was 2.8, not great but not the end of the world either.

Kyle took charge of his future, while she relied on the school to provide her leads.

The reason I mention this is that Kyle paid for expert advice while she relied on the career office.

My advice to all tech graduates is to seek professional help with your job search or sue the school and be unemployed.
