My husband is getting laid off of his job soon!
The company is offering several options for college.
They are offering to pay for a 12 week course in welding, electricity, hvac, small buisness management.
Or a 2 year degree in all courses offered at the local community college.

I tend toward truck driving myself. but then I am a bit odd. You need to consider his strengths and weaknesses, as well as the labor field. I would not recommend welding. It has great pay, and good job openings, but it tends to be hard on health, as you are in fumes all the time. Electrical work is good. In good demand, and not so hazardous (usually) but there are at least three different fields. Residential, commercial, and transmission. There might be more that I don't know about. The Field is quite demanding, and requires a lot of book knowledge. I agree that nursing is the pits. Given the current situation in Allopathic medicine, you could not hire me to go into nursing.
Sometimes at the local state employment office you can find someone to counsel with about jobs, what is available, and what training and skills are required.

Hello... i can totally relate to that feeling. Been through something similar and the outcome was not bad at all. We are humans, and it is of humans to adapt to change. Everybody responds differently to that process but the most important thing we need to understand is the reason for hope and for fear. See, you are hopeful to grow as a person by pursuing and finishing with what you started. That is a good thing. Fear gets a hold of you regarding your relationship, and i think that this is kinda like a red flag. You should really ask yourself 3 basic things: 1. How would i rate my current relationship in a scale of 1-10? 2. What do i bring to the table in my relationship -basically ask yourself why do you think he is with you. 3. why do i see this change of lifestyle as a threat to my relationship? This is important because i think that this fear you have right now is not something new, and if it is, you really don't need to worry to much about it. But if this is a feeling that's been bothering you, then i would suggest you do some soul searching. You have to be a great woman to have a man by your side. Relationships are not easy, they take commitment, trust, patience, love, mutual respect and admiration, and Responsibility. Look at yourself in front of a mirror and tell yourself who you are, a great mom, wife, partner, friend, daughter, employee, woman, student, and human. By the way... im pretty sure that in life, many people change partner's in one point of their lives, but they change because they are not completly happy. Find YOUR happiness, and if your spouse is not happy with what he has... let him fly away, hell come running back. Take care and hope its useful

What does he do now...? Although a 2 year degree is better than nothing, he'll still have to get a bachelor's degree for any job that requires a degree.
A 12 week course might be better, but again, it depends.

If he is OK at math he might consider Pharmacy Technician. Their working conditions are a lot better than nurses, but they dont get paid as much. They do have steady employment indoors with no fumes!
In order to do this programs he has to a) have no criminal record, especially no (as in Zero, none, nada, zilch) record of alcohol or drug abuse; and 2) be quite reliable at math. He doesn have to know calculus, but he has to be very reliable at regular everyday arithmetic.

depends how old he is and what he likes to do, trade schools are faster and you can make good money, college makes you take a lot of courses you don't need and take a while but he might end up making more money

He should meet with an academic counselor who will help him consider his options.

The course 'How to Eat an Orange' can be very useful.

I would learn photography so I could take pictures of hot women without my wife complaining about it.
