    At the moment im doing a Cert in Marketing in D.I.T. i love the course its excellent i would have liked to get the degree course it sounds really good but theres a lot more hours involved. Also last year i was told you had to do a language with marketing courses but we didnt we could choose a web and IT module instead.

    Well, I know a few people doing marketing and laguages (spanish I think) at D.C.U. and they seem to enjoy it a lot.

    Lot of work though, they are always doing presentations and design handups etc.

    Not like computers where you can just sit and watch your ass grow bigger.

    Presuming you are only interested in courses in Dublin, here ya go biggrin.gif

    DCU offer Business Studies, European Business and languages, International Marketing and languages.

    DIT offer Marketing, Management and Marketing, Business Studies, Leisure Management, Retail and Services Management, pure Management, Retail Marketing and Retail Enterprise Management.

    Dun Laoghaire offer Business studies (Entrepreneurship and also Electronic Commerce Systems.)

    IT Blanchardstown offers Business, IT and languages.

    IT Tallaght offer Business Studies (with Administration, or Marketing and languages, or Marketing Management).

    NCI offer two courses in Business Studies including human resource management, and two courses in European Business.

    Portobello offer Marketing, Business Management, and Human Resource Management. They also offer four other varieties of business courses.

    Trinity offer four types of Business Studies with languages.

    UCD offer Commerce, which is really broad and has marketing and management involved in it, and there is an option to do languages.

    That is as much as I know. These are a mixture of Certificate, Diploma and Degree courses. There are courses in marketing too, in Dundalk, where all qualified applicants get in - and I think that basically means that as long as you sit the LC you will get a place.

    Hope I helped. biggrin.gif

    SHould everything go horribly wrong, there are always other professions like Binman, Postman, TEACHER. I mean most of these are respected professions in the comuntiy and you'd do well not to forget them. MOre how ever for yourself ya might prefere something easier. Like maybe a Gigglo. Now there are something ya need to know to become a sucessful one.
    There's no other line of "work" as pleasurable and as
    overflowing with opportunities to enjoy luxury, travel
    and riches as that of the gigolo. And believe it or
    not, today it is easier than ever for a man to enjoy
    life as a gigolo!
    To become a successful gigolo and enjoy the benefits of
    this kind of life, you must develop and project the
    proper way of thinking. There's a great difference
    between a "male prostitute" and a gigolo.
    The male prostitute makes himself available to all
    women of all ages, generally concentrating on bored,
    frustrated and "exploring" housewives looking for extra
    loving as well as variety to satisfy their sex needs. This
    type of woman is very easy to spot, and even easier to take
    to bed. It makes of a lot of, and a variety of beautiful
    sex, but it's all for free. You have to know precisely how
    to cultivate these women to start, and then get them to
    continue paying you for each time you "service" them -- not
    just the loan of a few dollars -- which you never intend to
    pay back -- but $50 or $100 plus expenses for each tryst
    you arrange with them.
    The gigolo concentrates his efforts on making himself
    available to widows and wives of busy businessmen who
    really don't care what their wives do, so long as they
    don't become emroiled in a public scandal. These women
    range in age from about 45, on into their 80s.
    So the first thing you're going to have to do is stop
    looking for ladies at or about your own age. Dress
    yourself more neatly, more stylishly, and begin
    "hanging around" the places these women frequent.
    You'll find very few in church! Those that you do find
    in church will want to possess you, and somehow or
    other steer you to the altar. You'll find most of them
    in night classes at your local college; in
    self-improvement, self-awareness, and new life-style
    classes; and of course, in all the better class supper
    clubs and hotel type lounges.
    Relative to evening college courses and
    self-improvement discussion groups -- these are your
    easiest and most fertile "hunting grounds," because
    psychologists long ago proved that the basic reason for
    adult enrollment in self-improvement programs is
    directly related to a person's need to be loved. All
    you have to do is understand this basic fact, and make
    yourself available to fulfill the needs of the women
    enrolled in these programs.
    Your best opportunities for "being picked by a live
    one" at a supper club or hotel lounge will occur
    between 4 and 9 in the afternoon and evening; and
    between 12 midnight and closing time.
    If you want to be a successful gigolo, play it cool and
    don't advertise that you're on the make. Become
    friends with the class instructors, discussion leaders,
    club managers, bartenders and waitresses. In
    conversations, exhibit the depth and scope of your mind
    by discussing at greater length the subjects being
    presented, current events and your own experiences as
    you would have them relate to those topics.
    Yes, your own experiences such as: last year when I was
    in Paris or Rome or wherever. Try to tie your own
    contributions to the conversation in with the subject
    being discussed. If you haven't been there, a visit to
    your public library and frequent perusal of the travel
    magazines should give you all the background
    information you need to carry on an acceptable
    conversation about exotic other places and your
    intention to visit them.
    When a woman seems to be "overhearing" your discussion
    or joins in, welcome her and project to her that you
    think she's intelligent, knowledgeable and an
    authority. Nver -- even if you're talking about sex --
    size these women up or let on in any way that your
    ulterior motive is to get in bed with them. Know
    something about these countries -- you don't want to
    sound like a crass boorish oaf.
    Be friendly and courteous to them. Be sympathetic to
    their points of view. If you want to disagree with
    what they say, do so with the utmost thought, respect
    and compassion for their feelings. It's generally
    better to cater to their opinions with agreement,
    understanding and tact.
    Allow these women to come to you. Do not chase them or
    give them any hint that you're looking for them, or a
    woman of their type. Do not initiate a conversation.
    Make yourself available -- play hard-to-get. Let the
    woman exercise her independence and feelings of making
    her own selection.
    This means that unless she's really "turned on by the
    radiance of your personality," or else quite desperate,
    she will not "pick you up" on this first meeting. But
    don't despair -- have patience and continue your
    display of intelligence, good manners and charm. If
    you've done as instructed -- cleaned your nails and
    shined your shoes -- you've got her interested and
    she'll keep an eye on you, especially when you're with,
    around, or talking with other women.
    Whether you're in the company of a special lady you've
    been cultivating, in a group of men and women, or
    stting at the bar with a woman close by -- always try
    to sit next to a woman or be in a group that will
    include women -- put off ordering another drink. Don't
    volunteer by asking if you could buy the lady a drink,
    and don't rush to pick up the tab. Let the woman do
    the volunteering, the asking, and the paying. If she
    won't do it, another one will, and when one woman
    recognizes that to "get to you," she's going to have to
    pay, they'll all see and understand, and quickly fall
    into line. Those that don't aren't the ones you should
    be spending your time on anyway.
    Whenever a lady strikes up a conversation with you, let
    her bne the aggressor and ask the questions about you:
    Don't you ask the usual -- what does your husband do;
    where are you from, and/or what do you do for
    excitement. You should set the stage, lead her into
    asking these questions of you, and volunteering this
    kind of information about herself. Don't volunteer
    this information about yourself, nor be impatient to
    learn the facts of her background. She'll ask the
    proper questions and tell you all about herself, when
    she's ready to consider taking you on as her gigolo.
    If you must initiate the conversation or say something
    to take up the slack in a conversation, say things such
    as this weather reminds me of my trip to Rome last
    year; or you know, the shine from your hair and that
    gorgeous style reminds me of my hairdresser friend in
    Paris. Never start a sentence with a question. Make a
    statement about some romantic playground first, and
    then if she doesn't follow through with qestions ahout
    your statement, you might casually ask if she's ever
    been there or wanted to vist the places you're talking
    about.
    Remember this: These women are usually very wealthy,
    bored and sexually starved. Their men, in their
    struggle to become rich, often neglect their connubial
    duties, and die relatively young -- leaving rich widows
    who are hungry for fun, excitement, and sex. These
    wealthy widows are not adverse to using their late
    husband's accumulated money to pay for the services of
    a gigolo. Most are in fact, looking for the "right
    man" to attend their needs, regardless of cost!
    Gigolos are sometimes hired as travelling companions,
    business secretaries or escorts. Some people chuckle
    and refer to an older woman's beau as "her stud."
    Actually, the connotation of a "stud" is a misnomer,
    because the dictionary defines a stud as a male animal
    used, or available, for breeding purposes. Although
    the women paying for the services of a gigolo almost
    always is paying "her gigolo" for sex whenever she's in
    the mood, or feels the need for sex, to give her good
    sex is certainly not the extent of his duties, nor does
    the woman expect her gigolo to make her pregnant and
    bring forth babies.
    On the contrary, most gigolos are either sterile from
    natural causes or have had vacsectomies. You'll find
    that most of the women you'll be meeting as a gigolo
    will insist on your being sterile.
    Most people also think of a gigolo -- or a stud, if you
    will -- as having a "foot long **** as big around as a
    stove pipe!" Such is not the case! Most gigolos have
    only average size tools. They are very good lovers
    though. They've made a practice of reading women to
    the point that they know exactly what turns on the
    woman they're with, and they pull out all the stops to
    please her precisely as she wants to be pleased.
    A good gigolo is a good listener, a good talker, fun
    for a woman to be with, an actor, a real charmer, and a
    good lover. The women wanting you as a gigolo crave
    companionship, understanding, romance, and sex. In
    essence, a gigolo must know what to do and/or say, and
    precisely when to do it or say it, in order to satisfy
    the needs of the woman he's with, at all times.
    A real gigolo, one who actually lives the life of a
    gigolo in every sense of the word, does not pay for any
    of his expenses. He 5receives handsome rewards and
    large sums of money for his services. An outsider
    might be flabbergasted at the amount of money a woman
    spends on her gigolo, but she considers it a pittance
    when weighed with the pleasures she receives from his
    charming company. Her dreams and fantasies may
    continue for many years after their relationship ends,
    but always -- she'll want to do it all over again, and
    spend every time that's necessary to make it happen
    just like it did before...
    Large cities in all parts of the world, particularly
    resort communities abroad, are often the best places
    for a gigolo adventure. Cities where there are more
    women than men are where you should be operating --
    particularly the retirement villages. In this country,
    go where the sun shines -- Florida, Texas, Arizona, and
    Southern California.
    Never talk too much about yourself -- your past life or
    specifically where you were born and raised, went to
    school, former marriages, kids, and so on. It would be
    wise to have a quality engraved business card listing
    your name and phone number with a message such as
    "world-wide trveler, lover of the better things in
    life...Call me anytime..."
    Remember our earlier advice: Play it cool... Go slow,
    and let them come to you...When the opportunity
    presents itself and the lady wants to know what you do
    or where you're from, you can present her with your
    card. From that moment on, you'll be pleasantly
    surprised how the word will spread and at the number of
    ladies that will be calling you just to talk to you...
    Your best approach should not be too blunt, or too
    direct, unless your intuition tells you this particular
    woman wants it that way. By the same token, don't be
    too timid either. Very few women want men who are
    timid, and that they have to tell what to do. Let it
    be known that you're available, remembering that you
    have to cultivate the friendship of these women who
    will do almost anything to ease their boredom and
    longing for male company.
    The gigolos way of life is not for all men. Some are
    psychologically unable to accept the idea of a woman
    footing the bills for friendship, companionship and
    "dream-like" lovemaking sessions in her bed. Any man
    wanting success as a gigolo had better get rid of these
    kinds of "hang-ups" or else forget about life as a
    gigolo.
    Most rich widows have received their riches from a
    working husband. These riches were bestowed upon them
    by men. Now, they have no man to talk to, to shre
    their travel experiences to faraway and exotic places
    with, and to enjoy the pleasures of sex with...
    They feel they have the right to bestow these riches
    upon whatever man they choose, and every one of them
    will spend whatever price it takes to attain some
    measure of happiness, romance, understanding,
    companionship, and loving. Even the rich and famous
    have difficulties satisfying these basic human needs.
    As a gigolo, you can provide all of these intangibles
    for them, and live like a king while you're doing it.
    If you feel you have the necessary attributes needed by
    a successful gigolo, do not just fantasize -- live them
    now, and live them all the way!
    Travel, luxury, and easily obtained riches can be
    yours. If you're tired of resenting the sexual success
    of other men, stop resenting and start doing.
    Enjoy everything you've always dreamed of... travel,
    luxury, money... And all the good sex you can handle.

    Now aren't ya ****in sorry ya said anything you waster. Hope ya did some learnin before you open it open again.
    Tis easy to give adivse but some people just don't want to ****in hear it especially when your talking crap. wink.gif

    In the words of one very famous Bart Simpson "SCHOOL IS FOR LOooooooSERS" .
    Im off now, not to study, but to listen to some tunes and relax!
    you do know what RELAX means don't ya?
    OKAy try it some time,
    Over n out,

    Why even bother talking about college courses?Half the student body will porbably fail their LC due to the previous and up-coming strikes of the ASTI.

    Seemingly there wont be anyone to do the Oral presentations. (If anyone takes the p!ss out of the last sentence they deserve a swift spinning heel kick to the neck.)
