Career and education question?

Question

What are some good inexpensive classes to take or certificates to get in a very short period of time without having to go to college that someone could just pay themeleves without having o get loans or financial aid? That may be credited. I knew someone who worked at a salon that took reflexology and said it was a 3 month course for an example.

Answer 1

I don't think cheap and short coincide.  Programs designed to be finished in shorter periods of time are pricy, especially when they offer certification.  The bright side is that if you choose a growing career field, you should be able to pay off student loans fairly quickly.  Medical transcriptionists, radiology techs and medical related fields are always in demand.  Paralegal services are also increasing, due to an increasingly litigous society.  If you have an ear and tongue for it, translation in asian and middle eastern languages is also a well-paying path.  Assess your skills and interests, then contact at least three schools to compare prices and certification.

Answer 2

I agree. Get the loan and a proper education. That will take you much farther in the long run. Don't think short term fix. Think long term happiness.
