Hi.
The idea of suing my university is crossing my mind, but I don't know anything about law and things like that so I'm asking here.
I have studied nursing in an American university in a foreign country, I am not a citizen of this country. I have learned only after graduating that I am not allowed to work as a nurse in this country, because I do not hold a citizenship (it's the law). The thing is, my university never told me this, they even told me I would find a job and be able to work there. Now I have been stuck for more than a year and a half, I have tried applying for jobs in pretty much every country I could think of, but it never worked out because of my lack of experience. Again, I do not have any experience because I am legally not allowed to work in my country of studies.
So my question is simple, can I sue them? Would it make any sense in this case or is it just useless and stupid? I have been in a depression for a long long time, I have been turned down by every country I tried to apply in, and all that because my university didn't tell me I wouldn't be able to work there. Had I known I would obviously have studied somewhere else, and I would probably be working by now, but I am still dependent on my parents at 24, I have never worked - not that I didn't try or don't want to - and I will most probably have to start my studies all over again.
Thanks for reading, and sorry if the question seems stupid, I just believe it was my right to know from the beginning that I wouldn't be able to work, and that they screwed me over by hiding this from me and lying to me, making me waste four years by basically studying for nothing. These are four years I will never get back, and this situation could have been avoided had they been honest.
