Legal Question in Education Law in Michigan

Worthless degree

I received Associates as Personal Computer Specialist May 1998(GPA3.45). Since graduating, I have never been hired for a job in that field for 2 reasons. 1. I have only applied for a few jobs in the field, and 2 the reason I have only applied for a few jobs is I did not get the instruction needed to be able to perform the job duties expected of a PC Specialist. Course catalog states ''They will be able to assemble, upgrade, maintain, troubleshoot, & repair PC's; install and maintain both peer to peer and client server local area networks''. We never opened a PC nor loaded any programs on one, we did not learn how to upgrade nor troubleshoot. We did some reading and was tested over that material. The prof was complained about and is no longer teaching, but I was wondering what recourse if any I have to get compensated for my ''worthless degree'' that cost me time and money. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Worthless degree

It doesn't make any sense to argue that the degree is worthless (much less prove it in court), if you haven't really tried to get a job in the field. If the education was not what you expected, it was also a LONG time ago and a lot of things could well have happened in between (e.g the ECONOMY) to make it hard to find a job.
