Staff Members with Phony Degrees?
SUCK_IT:
At my program there were some counselors with unacredited degrees which you here misleadingly call "fake diplomas" or "phony degrees" in your attempts to malign people with nontraditional college educations. These were great people who deserved college degrees because of their life experiences even if they didn't go through what most people would consuder a "degree program". Since they worked in my program for a few years it qualified them to get masters degrees from nontraditional academic institutions that the mob here label as "diploma mills" which couldn't be further from the truth. Really, who do you think would know more about child psychology the people at my program who worked with us kids or people who went to traditional colleges for advanced degrees that never worked with kids like us before? I think we can all agree that even though their educations were nontraditional or their degrees conferred by churches doesn't mean they don't make great therapists. It's your heart that matters, not your paperwork.

A lot of you here are just like the liberal northeast elitists I see everyday. You think that for some reason people have to use the educational institutions you support or their degrees are no good. Well if you don't like the rules, appeal to the colleges to change them instead of whining about it. Many unacredited nontraditional schools award credits for life experience which only an elitist would dismiss by saying the person didn't have "book learning" like you, Anne. These are great people and if they worked in a program for a couple of years that's way better than a close-minded book-learning education you liberal elitists always hold out as the gold standard. I know these people make great therapists because my counselor at my program used to be the basketball coach but after a few years of working with kids he was able to get a masters degree from a local church that had a college to be a psychologist based on his direct life experience. The program promoted him and gave him our peer group and he did a great job. You have to step back and look at the larger picture and stop being so close-minded Anne. Without good and real people like my counselor I would not be successful today.

I've finally made it. I've been called a liberal elitist (although I'm not from the northeast so I hope it still counts). Thank you good sir for the compliment. :seg:

That's nothing to be proud of but doesn't surprise me fom someone who didn't have the guts to finish her program that saved her from drug abuse in the first place.
