Default USA Job Market 2010: How frustrated law school graduates are?

A growing number graduates, it appears, are now venting their frustration.

On blogs with names like “Scammed Hard” and “Shilling Me Softly,” law graduates are blaming their alma maters for luring them into expensive programs by overstating their chances of landing a job upon graduation, the USA Today reports.
