Sympathy for stupidity

This is Amber Eaton. She's one of the top stories on CNN today. She wants you to throw her a pity party because in July 2007, she left her job as a corporate compliance officer to go to law school, and then after a year of law school, decided she no longer wanted to do that, but couldn't find a job. Oh boo-hoo-hoo.

Seriously? The economy was already showing signs of crapping its own pants in July 2007, so why on earth should I (or any logical person) feel bad for a 35-year-old woman who didn't have the foresight to attend law school part time?

And CNN's marking this as a top news story? Just pathetic.
