#1. go to your local 'career-center' Savannah | Find a Career Center | Georgia Department of Labor
5520 White Bluff Road
Savannah, GA 31405-6908
(912) 356-2773

All this is FREE
a) Take a couple different 'skills / aptitude tests'
b) Go over the results with a career counsellor
c) Use Dept of Labor Statistics to research your most likely careers (employment outlook, regions, wages, requirements, job security)
d) decide on a few you are probable to be able to stay with, and provide growth opportunities

#2, start defining which schools / regions offer the training AND careers, and you prefer to go.
#3, contact admissions depts (Have your transcripts available) get additional referrals (like the dean of the particular focus you will have, + grads)
#4, Research the cities / areas for Cost of Living + how it 'fits' you, + available jobs in your field DURING your edu.
#5, Talk to deans and recent grads from the schools of choice
#6, set up interviews (with admissions and Deans) and go visit a few if possible ($89 air fares are GREAT on SWA)
#7, selections will likely become obvious.
#8, sign-up
#9, move
#10, Have a great time at this new adventure
