@zzombie Umar does not have a degree in Clinical Psychology.
Secondly, Umar is never getting the money for that school. And even if he did, as a supporter of Umar how will he maintain the school @zzombie? Because the millions he's asking for now is just to purchase it. I can tell you now as a former member of an alumni association of my private high school, Umar will need to be bringing in between 10-20 million each year if not more to maintain the school. How will Umar get the 10-20 million if not more yearly to maintain his private school?
Secondly, what will Umar do with the funds that have been donated to him for his school, which will never happen?
How do you know??? he was listed in the graduate commencement booklet as having a masters in clinical psychology.
everything else you said however is a valid criticism
Because I'm currently enrolled in a graduate program and working on my masters in psychology... so I do know how this field operates. Secondly, a masters in clinical psychology and school psychology are totally different. You are not gonna become a school psychologist with a clinical psychology degree. Clinical psychology programs do not teach nor offer what you need to become a licensed school psychologist. The majority of school psychologist have a M.S in psychology, or an Ed.S degree in school psychology.
