Only stipulation is that the career must be as lucrative as possible and must make more than $48k/year.

Computer programming is the only one I can think of that can be learned and practiced in a short enough time to get a job.

There are plenty of options out there for you...a popular school in the regional area where I live is Oklahoma State University-Institute of Technology. Ill list their programs for you. Most of these guys make pretty good money when they leave from what Ive been told and around 95% of them have jobs before they leave. I know one guy who goes there who is doing a fast track program in the Pipeline Corrosion department and will be done in one year, since he already had all of his gen ed's completed from his bachelors.

School of Energy
- Natural Gas Compression
- Pipeline Integrity/Corrosion
- Power Plant Technologies

School of Construction
- Construction Management
- Electrical Construction
- High Voltage Lineman
- Air Conditioning & Refrigeration

School of Nursing
- Registered Nurse(3 year)

School of Visual Communication

They also have a school of automotive and diesel mechanics.

Not sure what all they offer online, but maybe all of that can help you out.
