I have had alot of opportunity to get "hands on" with many large ops in toronto and have always distanced myself from my commercial buddies lol
I do take care of myself n family but over the yrs morals have kept away from crossing that line.

If i had somewhere stealth to do a couple massive runs id think about it but naaaaaaa

Can totally see where you're coming from. The legality and family play a massive part in any decision you make.

However I don't think there is necessarily anything morally wrong with selling for profit.

Right now I'm taking a part-time course online that leads to a university certificate in a field related to what I already do. (but pays double) I have a part-time student loan of $2200 from OSAP and a free $1200 from the Canada Education Grant. I would have qualified for an Ontario grant too, but the course is from Vancouver.

When I go to pay the loan my cost will be $48/mo, and I don't have to start paying until 6 months after I graduate.

If you want to be a safety inspector, or a health and safety guy, or something else like that, the key would be to find the right program, and then the school will help you file through OSAP. If your income is low enough you will get grants to cover at least part of the cost.

I thought about those online courses but my therapist told me not to bother because no one accepts it as legit on a resume. Apparently her son got a 2 yr degree feom somewhere i think arizona and still hasnt gotten a job.

Something along the same line as I mentioned before, have you looked into apartment manager jobs? You can take a 'certified building manager' course probably fairly cheap (student loan). That will give you reduced or free rent and a paycheque. There is work involved, but you can pretty much set your own hours. Just a thought.

Yeah, stay away from American online and for-profit "schools". Lots of colleges and universities in Ontario, and across the country offer legit, fully accepted courses in lots of subjects. If you're in TO contact Humber or Conestoga or Georgian and see if they have something you're interested in. Those are the courses that OSAP will pay for, and the certificate will be accepted everywhere.

If you need more help - pm me.

Try teaching your self how to code or develop websites and I think the online school your therapist's son went to University of Phoenix on line - no one takes it seriously but if you do online courses from Ryerson or York that's good. Craigslist and Kijiji have quite a few "gig" jobs where you don't have to commit long term but can work on the days you feel you can.
