I have been unsuccessful in reaching you.  I'll respond via e-mail.

My friend said that Barilone said "the public schools are just a holding
place until they get to the next holding place -- Folsom or Pelican
Bay."  But, despite this, Bariloni is encouraging her to do teaching
because he thinks her getting another IT job is hopeless.

He continually discourages her, telling her that it's not worth going to
school because no one will want to hire her at 60 years old when she
gets out.

He also discourages her from various job search methods, including cold
calling.  He allegedly has a handle on all the local companies which are
hiring and those that are moving or outsourcing, yet he's basically
telling her to forgot nearly every local company because he was told
they are moving or outsourcing (when I have concrete proof to the
contrary).

Nick Bariloni obviously does not know his job and is no counselor, and
should be replaced as quickly as possible so someone may possibly get
some good advice instead of bogus advice and constant discouragement.

I don't know what more can be said.
