Unfortunately, judging by the OP's early posts in this thread, it appears that's not a field he's qualified in.

I need something I can complete in 6 months or less. The only way to make it is by getting a CDL and finish it in 6 weeks and hope to get trucking job or work in the oil fields after one year of driving experience.

I am still looking at other options. But again, due to the cost of an education vs. how much time I will be without an income while in school vs. how much salary I will make when I graduate concerns me.
Trucking is short-term schooling, vs. low cost CDL($3,500) vs no time off from work.
If interested in nursing, you might check out Carrington College; I used to precept students and I don't believe they have (or at least didn't have) a waiting list.
