Try the State Department Careers page.  I know there is an examination that has to be taken and the process takes a while - but it will start you on the track of becoming a Foreign Service Officer.  Best wishes, go get'em.

the best certification to get is the CCIE\n\nCisco CCIE is the worldwide doctorate of networking\n\nbut anything below it and above the CCNA will make you a proven asset that all employers will want... \n\nbut it will take years till you get to the CCIE level and the exam is really costly.\n\ngood luck\n\nsalaries start at $102,000 \n\nhttp://www.cramsession.com/articles/get-article.asp?aid=925

That's always one of the tough ones. The best answer is to find an alternative/lesser position in the field you're interested in, make contacts, prove yourself, and wait for the chance to come. Another answer: what kind of "training" do you need? Can you teach yourself? If so, do it; and then start banging on doors--someone will realize that you're capable. But don't expect them to offer you anything.

It depends on where you live, Community colleges, and the best route. However, there are also private colleges that offer associates degrees, and others that you can complete on-line. If you live in Pa try Central Pennsylvania College, you can get an associates from them in 18 months.

Obviously your work doesn’t include the need for being able to write clearly.  \n\nQuit dreaming, focus on your job, find ways to do it better.  If you want advancement you must earn it.  Waiting less than six months is not a very long time.  Demonstrate to your employer that you are the best at your job and necessary to the operation.  Not by saying it but by doing excellent work.

I would get a short term degree or go through some type of certification process. Real Estate is a good example, quick and easy to get into and you can make as much money as someone with a four year degree.

You might consider becoming a "Sun Certified System\nAdministrator for the Solaris Operating System".  It\nwould show that you know your way around the administration\nside of the operating system.\n\nThe downside is that the certification test costs $150\neach, and there are two tests to take.\n\nPersonally, I didn't take the preparatory course (since\nit was kind of expensive).  Instead, I bought (used)\ncopies of a couple of the certification study guides\nfrom Amazon, took some of the free practice tests \nwhich are available from the net, and had no trouble\npassing the test.  [Note, I didn't say I *aced* the\ntest, but all that matters is that you pass :-) ]

You can graduate faster than the usual time only if you have enough credits and the right courses.  Its probably possible to do it in a year less, but two is probably pushing it.  I've heard 6 years as well.  That said, if you don't well in some courses, it could end up taking 7 or 8 years.  And to do it in less time, you will have to work harder.  \n\nIf you aren't wanting to commit and sacrifice a couple more years for your carreer, maybe it isnt the right job for you?

Certified Nursing Assistant is not hard, but, you may need to be sure where to do this. You may need to take you classes and/or certification test in Texas. This about all I know, but, it does not take long, maybe 6-12 months of training. I know people who do this, but, not real up on it. Check around the Corpus Cristie area on the Inet and see if you can find Info for schools. I will search a little too, no promises. Maybe someone give you more info than myself.\nWell, I am back. Not real good finding you something. But try these; \nhttp://www.top-colleges.com/v/medical.html?source=ov-tc-can\nhttp://universityofphoenix-info.com/index.html\nIt look like it may require a 2 year degree (A.A.S. Associate of Applied Science (I guess)).\nBut, if you can contact a College you may at least feel them out for more Information on this. Sorry I not know more. :-( Most Technical Schools or Colleges can do a LPN in 2 years, and it better pay. ;-p

Ha-ha, fast and easy don't pay unless you are doing something illegal.  \n\nYou might try something having to do with computers, that is definitely a hot industry right now.\n\nOr become a realtor if you think you have a knack for it.  Commission can be good if you are dedicated and the certification time might not be too long.

The other answer would help you learn alot, but you cant get certified that way. Their really isnt any\nother way except go to college like every one else does. Just go full time and it shouldnt take to many\nmonths.or years
