Business courses.

A friend is looking to take some basic 101 type stuff, I suggested the local colleges. But he said he wants to check all options and anyone with personal recommendations outside of the atypical college course(s).

I still think he'll end up at Humber for the stuff. lol

I guess it depends on what "your friend" is going to do with them.

No idea. I just suggested Humber and George Brown.

"atypical" means "outside of the usual", so something outside of the outside would be... aw hell. College courses it is.

Very good nobody, you either passed English or learned how to look it up online. Now go look at some Michael Brown store footage and try to understand what a dickhead he was.

Was he the kind of asshole who would go off on an entirely unrelated and mean spirited tangent when someone gently points out an error they made? Because if so, yeah, dude totally deserved to be gunned down in the street.

You're just an angry old ... man, I get it.
No error made btw.
My friend was curious as to courses outside the "norm" college, university options, be it private tutors, courses he's seen in ads (which he hasn't contacted yet) since he does half a wife and two kids.

Going off on tangents is the norm in this forum, don't like it? Get the fuck out.
Go volunteer and get the youth off the streets and so they don't go around causing shit and getting shot.

Here are a few free web based courses that might be useful especially for the basics like accounting, finance, marketing, etc. At least he can get his feet wet before dropping money at college or university.

https://www.udemy.com/courses/Business/

Another paid site is Lynda.com that also covers business topics too. All of these sites have lots of other topics too

Online courses are great, but you have to be very disciplined to keep up with the reading and assignments. I find that you are more likely to do that in a classroom environment because you have to make an effort to travel to class, buy books, etc. It all depends on what your friend prefers.

Not sure how broad or narrow an interpretation to put to "basic 101" business courses, but you and your friend should take a look at EdX.org and see what they offer. There are courses which you can take online for free, or take the same course for a nominal fee and receive a completion certificate. You may want to look at courses on Entrepreneurship, on business finance, marketing, etc.

Jesus fucking Christ III ! Even when the fucking error is pointed out to you you STILL don't get it. Saying someone is looking for "personal recommendations outside of the atypical college course(s)" means they are actually looking for typical college course recommendations, which is precisely the opposite of what you meant to say. Would a map or a Venn diagram help, perhaps?

On a related note, you might want to suggest that they take a communications course or two so they don't come across as an illiterate fuckwit when writing something. And speaking of things related and tangential:

Going off on tangents is the norm in this forum, don't like it? Get the fuck out.

Wrong again, me bucko. What you did was a completely irrelevant and unnecessary dig about some other unrelated fucking thing entirely. A tangent, on the other hand, connects to the topic at hand however tenuously. A tangent would be more akin to pointing out that it is small wonder that I am an angry old man when I am endlessly bombarded by dense motherfuckery. See what I did there? Directly addressed something you said while drifting far from the original topic. Or a tangent, as it is known. Again, your thinly veiled racist cracks about thuggish youth: not so much a conversational tangent as smearing shit on the walls of discourse.

Nothing thinly veiled about thuggish youth.
In fact, I was in Scarborough yesterday visiting a friend and saw a bunch of degenerate fucks with their pants to the ground, walking with limps that made 70 yr olds look young, healthy and brisk in their walk.
One homey's pants were so low, they were touching around his knees. I would dread to be a cop, having to pull them over, asking for IDs and potentially worry about some WorldStarHipHop type attitudes and "dense motherfuckery".

Enjoy the thread, as you will be left alone in it pops.

Hey telsa, if you had just looked up the correct meaning of "atypical" a whole lot of bandwidth could have been saved.

Atypical is the OPPOSITE of typical.

Yes, thatwas exactly what my friend was looking for, possible courses outside the usual "college/university" offered BS as he put it to me so eloquently.


Anynym, got it, and I thanked him for the info.

lol they're kids... and have you never had a friend that dressed like that?...if not , expalins why you're so scared of black people, probably because you've never interacted with one...

Funny thing about black friends, the ones I hung around with lived in Parkdale. We all went to a high school nearby.
My two closest friends in high school, black and chinese.

I'm not scared of black people at all. Although I do question the looks on their faces at times because some do carry this "angry/upset" what I called "sour face".
Helped a guy once in an elevator with his groceries, to load them in the elevator (at my friend's Scarborough apartment), he gave me this disgusted look that I helped him with his 10-12 bags into the elevator, no thanks, nothing.
I thought maybe a personal shit day, but the look he gave me was pure anger. Didn't care for the thank you, but a nod would have been cool to let me know, sorry, I'm mad bro.

NONE of my black friends wore their pants like that. In fact, they were fucking awesome, clean cut, normal, no swag, only one guy, but it was a total act and we (and he himself) knew it.
It was only in school, outside, no swag, dressed normal, although during warm-ups, sometimes the tearaway warm-up pants would be a little lower on the waist, but not to the point anyone would think, "what a fucking clown".

These days, it's fucking ridiculous. Saw a white kid with jeans down to his knees for fuck sakes, the hell?
