Scot, how about sonography? A friend of mine is doing it (already has a bachelor's degree) and they are pushing him through directly to clinicals after he finishes two courses in summer semester (biology and anatomy). That makes it a one-year course and you can make decent money when you get out. With a bachelor's degree, you can supervise the others and make $100K+ per year. It's health-care related so you'll always have work as well.
Additionally, in Texas (maybe the nation?), they passed a law regarding cardiologists having a sonographer check the heart of the patient prior to a surgical procedure. So, the hospitals AND private practices are needing sonographers for cardio-related work, not just the typical stuff (pregnancies, etc, etc).

I cannot see the difference in colors if they are right near each other..... i can tell yellow from blue but not green from brown from red if they are all bunchd up.

Why don't you open your own business? It seems like you have enough business knowledge to be able to run one. Why don't you look into a hotel/motel?
Seems like I would need a lot more $ than I have in order to get somewhere with a motel / hotel....?
all idea's and help are appreicated.
