Jesse Liberty’s Education
-
State University of New York - System
BA , Psychology , 1985 — 1989
After dropping out or being kicked out of many fine schools, I achieved a diplomma by "placing" out of a BA, through the SUNY system of self-study, taking tests and receiving credits. I then went on to Hunter College school of Social Work where I discovered that I was qutie good at coding and quite bad at helping the chronically psychotic (and so was awarded double honors and the door). In short, it has all worked out quite well; at least so far.
