Sam's credentials

[Ken The Kanuck]

Sam has asked me to post his credentials due to some members questioning his word. I am using a new photo hosting site so hopefully all will go well.

Why did you have to do that?

Why did you have to do that?

Jim, I am not sure who the question is directed to, but I feel Sam would be the best person to answer it.

Why did you have to do that?

Sometime ago on the political forum my education and work history was questioned severly by a member. I was unable to post my qualifications so I asked Ken to help which he kindly did. I have an extensive work history with the mentally ill and with my continuing education credits I could paper a large wall. To get me as your Case Manager the client needed 3 requirements or the client was not assigned to my case load. Diagnosed with a DSM illness, substance addiction, and a criminal history, usually violent. When I was switched to another division my case load had to be split 3 ways as no one Case Manager then wanted my clients. Ohio University, like most universities, was hard to get into and even harder to do a dual degree in Psychology and Sociology with a Minor in Social Welfare with Honors. @ the same time I have a learning disability due to having a 105 degree fever for a two day period years ago. I have very little short term memory on learning that does lock into my long term so it is there. I went back and completed my education when I was 42 and still raising a family with two children and running a small business. If I offer an opinion rest assured it is with much education and experience. Thanks for asking.

Good for you Sam! I have never questioned your qualifications. BTW, I enjoy all your posts.

I'm impressed. I don't think that I have ever seen a degree marked "Cum Laude". Given my marks, I always figured that mine should have been marked "Cum Lousy"

A good education is more valuable than gold, and easier to carry around.
