Unemployment 101

Trina Thompson just made a bad career move.

She sued the college that granted her a degree because she can’t get a job.

No, I’m serious. Even in an age when people will sue over anything, this one is hard to take.

It seems that temperamental Trina graduated from Monroe College in New York in April. That is all of four months ago -- in case she can't count, too -- and already the strain of this long ordeal has worn her down.

Apparently no one told Trina there’s a RECESSION going on.

If they had, she might have waited a while longer to file her lawsuit. Then again, if she had any gumption, she’d just try harder to get a job.

Since she has a degree in information technology, eventually she’d land somewhere.

Now, however, every employer in the nation has been alerted to the fact that Trina is not exactly a go-getter willing to start at the bottom and work her way up.

This, of course, will lead to a condition known as “more unemployment.”

Poor, poor Trina. Too bad she didn’t major in common sense. If she had, she might be complaining about how hard work is like the rest of us these days.
