What careers require a short period of time to obtain a license?

Question

If you want a career, instead of just a short term job, what licenses should you get and what schools should you go to?

Answer 1

There are many career drivers in the USA; getting a license is simply a matter of being able to pass the test.

If you're working for someone else, don't expect to make a great deal; however, if you're good at marketing yourself and your services, you can start your own pickup & delivery enterprise.

That's how I started a small airfreight business; I lost about $10k the first year and wondered if I'd misjudged the market, but then things picked up and I netted roughly $97k in the first quarter of my second year.

Then I hired drivers and bought vehicles and went through a paperwork nightmare to get operating authorities and all sorts of other compliance-related things out of the way (that didn't apply to me as an individual operating a POV, but did when I became a fleet owner/operator and started using heavier vehicles).

All that was long before 9-11 and all the insane changes to the law since then. Lots of people stuck it out, but I honestly don't know how they dealt with all the new regulatory intrusions and general red-tape "merde de taureau" (pardon my French).

There are a variety of other "vocational careers" that are similarly translatable: you can get chump change working for an oppressive boss, or you can take the risks and reap the rewards while learning what sorts of pressures really apply to executives -- and when you hire others, you'll know to treat them well because you remember what it was like to be a peon.

AFAIK, you can be a paralegal without a license.

Answer 2

You can become a hair dresser or truck driver after a fairly short training period. There are vocational schools and some community colleges where you can get training. There are also other types of vocations such as electricians, plumbers, etc., where you can get training and then do an apprenticeship. I would just check with state vocational schools or community colleges in your area. You may also want to check with the state employment office. They may also be able to assist you.
