Yes you can - but you need to be more specific - was it a law school ? - were you lied to ?

They "gave" you a useless degree or you went to them and begged if you could give them a lot of money and would they please let you study there.
I suspect that you applied to attend there, that you picked your classes, that you decided to keep attending several semester in a row, that you.... well, you get the point; it was "you" not "them". Did "you" make a bad decision?
Accept some responsibility. You're now bothered by choices that YOU made and you want to blame it on them? As long as you maintain the external locus of control idea (everything is someone else's fault) then you are doomed to misery.
Get a clue - it's all up to you and what you do and not "their fault".
Yes, you can sue the university. Go for it. You can sue anyone you want to sue. Probably won't win but sue away.

Only if they misrepresented something--say, they guaranteed you'd get a job in your major, or advertised a placement rate or average starting salaries for graduates that are much higher than the real numbers. A few sleazy schools have been known to do that, but usually even the worst degree mills are more careful.

Oh look! yet another sue-happy fool who can not clarify HOW a settlement grew to become into breached! Yay! hear, universities carry one hell of plenty greater skill than you ever will. in the event that they arrive to a decision to end a settlement for ANY reason, this is interior their justification to take action. don't love it? circulate someplace else and end complaining. you're unlikely to win this one so your seventy 5 % is greater like 0.0000075 %.

just what degree did you get? A college degree can' t be that useless right? I know grad school degrees are what really count in this competitive job market of ours

no you can't sue. You had a choice to choose a major that is interesting to you and a degree that would help you when you graduate.

You cannot it was up to you to figure out if the degree would help you or hurt you.

umm, it's kind of your own fault for picking a useless major.

Nope. Caveat emptor applies (in case you didn't get that dead language phrase [Latin], it means Let the Buyer Beware).
