Anything in the health industry is in demand. All sorts of things you could do in 1-2 years.

My advice? Don't sacrifice something you'd really love to do for something that's quicker in schooling. That's cool if there's something you want to do that takes limited college. But don't go for something just because it's quick.

I hear you on the housing stuff. Real estate around here is stupid. But housing market/real estate is a bust right now in most places.

Welding is another good one. But the fumes have been known to cause cancer. At least esab welding wire warns against it.

IMO when thinking of a career ask yourself if that job could be outsourced by a u.s. company to another country for cheaper work. Because if it can.. chances are eventually it could be..

I would say do roofing. Like specialised roofing copper roofs and such. Though 100 degree temps WILL kill you no doubt about it. The roof is 130-140 degrees on a day like that with the sun beating on you. It's VERY VERY hardwork but the paycheck is worth it time and time again. Plus if you get into Copper roofing OHHH BOYY we are talking some MAJOR figures here. Why not go for enviromental science. that is a great paying career if you get your proper education and become part of successful organizations and studies. There are plenty of jobs for your average person you just got to look for some time and there are some good jobs.
