...and wonder what area would take the least amount of time in education. I am not lazy, and I'm not looking for a free ride. I'm just broke, and need to work full-time. Once I get my foot in the door, I can take more courses whenever possible. I am very interested in Polysomnography, but I can't find any courses for it anywhere near me. I'm not fresh out of school, and have mostly management background. Thanks.

I should have mentioned that I have no interest in being a NURSE. I'm more interested in Doctor's offices, like billing etc, or something more like MRI Tech or Polysomnography, etc. I know...I'm probabaly limiting myself too much...

Start inquiring and let them tell you where they can start you, then advance, advance, advance! I also think health care or the medical field is interesting (I'm just working on the wrong end of it right now so I don't have any real ideas for ya.)

CNA, is the least amount of time, but it doesn't pay much. Iam a CNA, a certified nurse assistant, i went through a couple weeks of class and couple weeks of clinical time then i was off to take my state test. LPN's and RN's are the ones who make the money. A LPN has to go to school for 1 year, which is what iam in school for now. An RN has lots of school time and clinical time to complete. So if your looking for the easiest it is cna.

There are community college courses near my house that offer programs in xray or ultrasound technician. I think you could do these parttime while still working if you can find similar programs. Then once you have more money you could get more education if you want to.

There are some employers like Kaiser Permanente, that if you work for them, they give you money to go to school and stuff, not to mention give you a job--the catch is, when you get out you have to work for them for like 5 years or so before you can go elsewhere.
