Jamestown Community College: Cattaraugus County Campus — Local services in City of Olean

I went to JCC for a degree in Human Services. I came away wishing I had never bothered. If I had gotten the truth about the nature of what I wanted to do it would have been a different story. Instead, I got professor Linda Matthews. She told me in a nutshell that the reason therapists speak in "Mm-hm, and how does that make you feel?" was due to "federal, state and local guidelines". In other words I was told that this was the reason therapists weren't allowed to talk to a "client" like a human being. Since then, I've found out very differently. Professor Mangano seemed to have an endless commodity of compassion for each student in her Interpersonal Dynamics class, until I was up at bat. That was when, instead of compassion, I was attacked for my own differences and largely told that my issues were my own fault.

I couldn't get entry level in ANY place in the area, and when I moved to Dallas to try my luck there with my degree, I couldn't even get a job sweeping floors in anyplace connected to the Human Services gig.

JUST ABOUT THE FINEST OUTHOUSE WALLPAPER YOU'VE EVER SEEN! I went back to driving trucks for a living, and eighteen years after my time at JCC I'm now on the sidelines from work injuries. And I STILL accomplished more in that time than what I lost at JCC. You couldn't PAY me to lie and tell anyone that their time at that school would...

For a small community college, they have a good amount of resources! Their instructors are pretty good as well, but I'm biased because I teach there. There is ample parking and they have great technology available. Student services are very helpful, and there are a good amount of community engagement events.

Update: 10/27/2023 attended an art opening last night at the gallery. It was fun and the space was n8cely arranged. I highly recommend that people attend the galley regularly for new...

Brian Barone doesn't know the law at all. And neither does Officer Swan. I can solve any and every crime.. Because of my CIA. Training. And if you are CIA. You are the strongest Officer in history. That put Brian Barone. To the ground with one arm and pinned him. Twice. Because he tried to attack his teacher. I know Advanced Martial arts. Highest in the country.. Military. And I am Marshal trained. By CIA.. That's all you have to know. The highest level above....
