While your friend may be in desperate need of social refinement and etiquette training, today's topic is quite literally about enrollment in classes that provide education in vocational skills. One unifying trait that is shared amongst all nerds is their obsessive focus and devotion towards the development of certain skills that are aberrant from his/her peers. since a new year is right around the corner, new winter courses will be opening at your local colleges and community centers that can teach your friends all they need to know about a plethora of diverse subjects.
Perhaps you have someone who is interested in learning some programming languages? Maybe there's an avid art buff you know who wants to begin learning the basics or augment their already impressive skills. Then there is the friend who desperately clings to the notion that they will one day write the next great American screenplay, but doesn't have a clue as to how a screenplay is actually composed. Fear not, for all of these things can be learned in classes held all across the country; and for those of you who live in the middle of nowhere, remember that in this digital age there is bound to be an online course or correspondence that can offer some tutelage to any would-be apprentice/acolyte. So grab your check book (because this stuff ain't cheap) and treat your friend to the gift of knowledge. Who knows, years from now you may actually see money back on this investment (but probably not).
