THIS is how a person earns a DOCTORATE at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology??

Probably about normal.Take a look at this place's web site. They are not a regular college or University, they are a graduate level trade school for Psychologists. That is the only thing they teach. They fail or drop less than 2% of their students. This is nothing but a Diploma Mill.

As someone who has personally been through grief, along with my children, I resent these "psychologists" who impose their "expert" counsel on grief-stricken people - usually earning high salaries paid through tax dollars as they exploit us.
So many people encouraged us to "get counselling" after Greg died, as if it was expected and necessary, like breathing and eating. I didn't do it.
Grieving is natural, it's not a sickness that needs treatment... and it especially does not need a marathon to make it all better... and psychologists and their diploma mill schools don't need to make money off of us either and then be applauded for "caring." Are they good people - or sanctimonious (that was for you, ratty *grin*) control freaks?

This is nothing but a Diploma Mill.

When I went back to school, the fastest growing degree programs were: Social Work (Socialists AT work is more like it), Womyn's Studies, and Education.

Some of my undergrad course work from ECU wouldn't carry over to UNC-G, so I had to re-take some courses that were not related to my majors. I have NEVER seen people as stoooopid as the ones who were in the programs I just mentioned. NEVER. Even in my HIGH SCHOOL the students were smarter than them. They REALLY didn't even belong in a Community College.

And it takes a LOT for me to look down my nose at other people, as far as intelligence or lack of it is concerned. I will NEVER set off any brain wave alarms when I walk into the room. I think the 90+ ° heat in the tobacco fields effectively killed the few brain cells I was given at birth. What the farm work didn't destroy, ECU did. hehehehehe!!

But even with my puny intellect, I was light years ahead of these people. And I mean there were a BUNCH of them. Instead of working in a factory punching shoelace eyelets into shoe leather, they will now be working in the government, diligently trying to increase social spending, with newly minted, worthless degrees in hand.

Oh, I nearly forgot, my second major was journalism, and they were not only as stoooopid as the people I mentioned above, but the were also MILITANT about their Leftist views. (In a limp wristed militant sort of way that is.)

Those people probably couldn't even calculate their Grade Point Averages.

From the admissions section of the school's website:
The 2001/2002 entering class averaged 37% women, 16% men, 9% minorities, and 21% international students, and fewer than 1% disabled students.

37% were women and 16% men --- shouldn't the two numbers add up to 100%? Of course, I R Not a college graduate....
